We would say there is repetition-in-rupture as described by Spivak in the following situation:

**A situation in which the previously oppressed chooses not to continue the cycle of violence and does not become an oppressor.**

This concept refers to a break in the cycle of oppression where the oppressed, instead of replicating the patterns of violence and domination they experienced, create a new kind of response or action that disrupts the cycle.

The correct statement about Greek silence is:

**"Instead of silence as absence, Greek silence is best comprehended as a register of one’s harmony with one’s place as embodied through one’s demeanour, a demeanour achieved through a form of self-mastery."**

This understanding emphasizes the positive aspect of silence in Greek thought, focusing on harmony and self-mastery rather than simply viewing silence as the absence of sound or activity.
