Vaughn Cunningham · Answer 1

The correct answer is C " An important element of tragedy is the origin of the sorrowful outcome, which, according to the classical prescription, must be a mistake by the protagonist." This is because the phrase "according to the classical prescription" directly describes the "sorrowful outcome" in relation to the second half of the sentence, which is "must be a mistake by the protagonist". This is the only part in which all the answers vary. The others fail to make sense because of the incorrect separation of this phrase.
