Read the selection below from “The Insufficiency of Honesty” by Stephen L. Carter and answer the question that follows. When I r

efer to integrity, I have something very specific in mind. Integrity, as I will use the term, requires three steps: discerning what is right and what is wrong; acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right and wrong. The first criterion captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness. The second brings in the ideal of a person of integrity as steadfast, a quality that includes keeping one’s commitments. The third reminds us that a person of integrity can be trusted. Source: Carter, Stephen L. “The Insufficiency of Honesty.” Atlantic Monthly Feb. 1996: 74+. Print. Based on the passage above, which of the following reflects the correct use of parentheses? In his definition of integrity, (Carter) states that “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness.” The essay begins with the claim that “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness.” (Carter) Regarding integrity, “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness” (Carter). (Carter) writes, “[D]iscerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness.”

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines parentheses as "a remark that is added to a sentence, often to provide an explanation or extra information, that is separated from the main part of the sentence by commas, brackets, or dashes."

"Regarding integrity, “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness” (Carter)." is the correct use of parentheses. This is because the quotation marks have been placed at the end of the sentence and the final full stop has been placed after the parenthetical reference of the writer's or speaker's name.

Find evidence in The Great Gatsby that supports Nick's belief and explain why this is in fact true or, argue the opposite, that
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Nick is correct in believing that Gatsby is a man not to be trusted.

Explanation:

Nick Carraway is a character in "The Great Gatsby". Despite being Gatsby's neighbor and attending his parties, he doesn't know anything about Gatsby. He doesn't know how Gatsby got rich, what he does, who his family is, nothing. Nor does anyone in the neighborhood know anything about Gatsby.

For this reason, Nick has serious suspicions about Gatsby and the little he finds out about Gatsby during the narrative, makes him more suspicious, about Gatsby's position in relation to what is outside his objectives. For this reason, he is correct in not thinking that Gatsby is a reliable man.
