Answer 1

The most accurate response that captures how the play develops a theme about honor is:

Nolan’s honor is often misplaced in entities that abuse or betray that honor, as it is with both Burr and his country.

This response highlights the complexity of honor within the narrative, suggesting that Nolan's loyalty and sense of honor lead him to situations where he is ultimately betrayed, both by Burr and his country. It underscores the theme of honor being a double-edged sword that can lead to both personal integrity and personal loss.
