What viewpoint is conveyed by Sophocles through the following lines spoken by Choragos at the end of the play?
Great words of boasting bring great punishments;
And so to gray–haired age
Comes wisdom at the last.
A.Man is most blessed by words of praise to the Gods.
B.The Gods will not punish arrogance of old men.
C.Only the young are modest and careful about how they praise the Gods.
D.With age, man learns to not be foolish and arrogant.

Answer:

D.With age, man learns to not be foolish and arrogant

Explanation:

In ancient plays, chorus was a set of people who, usually dancing and singing, provided audience with important information, such as setting or prior events or they served as commentator of the play's event. Choragos is the leader of a chorus. He, unlike the chorus, interacted with other characters.

Now, the main idea of these last few lines is to convey the idea that arrogant and people fool of pride usually come to a downfall because they are to sure of themselves to listen to anyone's advice. Wisdom, according to Sophocles, is the ability, an acquired characteristic where man learns to hold down his arrogance and accepts other's ideas and opinions and judges them. This ability comes with age, when the hair is gray, after many life experience.
