Answer:

The correct answer is option A. Hurricane Don approaches land, forcing Drew to leave his home

behind.

Step-by-step explanation:

Classic Tragedy is characterized by presenting historical or mythological characters (Kings, heroes and demigods), who suffer a misfortune caused by the will of the gods or fate, in this case a hurricane. The problems of this genre are far from the questions of everyday life. The outcome is always unfortunate, since it ends with the death or punishment of the hero.

The characters are noble; the protagonist must face an adverse fate, which has been set by the gods and from which he cannot escape.

The language in which the characters express themselves is similar to their social category and is characterized by their formal registration.
