<u>Answer</u>:

Gatsby's attitude toward the forward march of time is that he rejects it, fully believing that it is possible to re-capture the past.

So, the right option is Option D.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” Gatsby is under the wrong impression that he can manipulate time. This is clear when Nick who thinks that times progression can be reversed tries to make him understand but he rejects it as he believes in the scenario that existed between him and Daisy five years before when he had left for war.

Jay Gatz always dreamt of reuniting with Daisy Fay of Louisville, Kentucky. That’s the reason why he wove a lie of being a wealthy person. He purchased a mansion in West Egg to gaze at the green light at the end of Daisy Buchanan's pier. He throws lavish parties hoping that Daisy Buchanan would show up.

After five years he gets the opportunity to meet his former girlfriend through Nick Carraway at his cottage but nervousness takes him over. He accidentally knocks a clock off the mantle, catches it "with trembling fingers" and replaces it. He puts in all his effort to get Daisy back but all the portrayal of wealth doesn’t erase Jay Gatsby’s fear of time and the thought of not being able to recapture the past. His fruitless actions to regain what young Daisy once was for him comes to a crashing end like that of all tragic heroes.

What geocahing is and the controversy that surrounds it.
topjm [15]

…that the sites’ creator, Jeremy Irish, tried to trademark the word “geocaching”? He did so when the word had already been used for months as the common term for the hobby, and failed.

…that Groundspeak Inc, then Grounded Inc, wanted to file a lawsuit against Navicache.com for the use of the word “geocaching”? This too failed, and Navicache responded by increasing their site activities and making it a full-fledges site for geocache listings.

…that banner ads, merchandise sales and paid memberships were used to fund geocaching.com? This despite many attempts to keep geocaching non-commercial.

…that geocaching.com used to censor the names of other geocaching websites? People were not allowed to utter them or link to them on geocaching.com.

…that the site tried to merge the much older hobby of letterboxing with geocaching, which was resisted by many members.

What personality trait most likely leads to victor's downfall
postnew [5]
I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be Victor's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Although this is typically seen as a positive characteristic, it ends up consuming Victor and contributing to his downfall. It leads to him creating his monster, which ultimately destroys him in the end. Hope this helps.
