Answer: Change in definition of truth overtime.

Explanation:

When analysing critically the definitions of truth across three centuries, using the 19th, 20th and 21st century as our case study; some changes can be observed in this very important word which tells us about key virtues we posses as humans.

As observed in earlier definition of truth gotten from the definitions from the 19th and 20th century more references were made with respect to the Bible as a final authority to getting knowledge for man then. Taking examples from the quotation of the first book of corinthians, zechariah and John with a host of others found in earlier definition. But this is not the case with the recent definition of truth which doesn't even make a single reference to the Bible, showing how man has gradually shifted away from the Bible as a final say in knowledge.

Thanks

Which of these statements about other characters' reactions to Myrtle's death is true?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The true statement about Myrtle's death is:

b. Tom's first instinct is to protect himself. Later he cries.

Explanation:

The characters mentioned in the question belong to the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Tom is married to Daisy, and Myrtle is married to Wilson. Tom and Myrtle have an affair, of which Wilson is starting to suspect and Daisy already knows. Daisy is also having an affair with the protagonist of the story, Gatsby. While driving back from New York to their homes in a yellow car, Daisy and Gatsby run over and kill Myrtle. They do not pull over to give any assistance.

Tom is following in another car with Nick, the story's narrator and Daisy's cousin. When he finds out his lover has died, he is in shock for a moment. He is forced to recover quickly when a witness talks about the yellow car that ran over Myrtle. It turns out that the car is Tom's, and Wilson has seen Tom driving it previously. Afraid that Wilson might blame him for the accident, Tom's instinct is to protect himself. He tells Wilson the yellow car is not his, and quickly goes away with Nick, all the time being authoritative. However, as soon as they distance themselves from the scene, Tom begins to cry.

<em>"Listen," said Tom, shaking him a little. "I just got here a minute ago, from New York. I was bringing you that coupe we've been talking about. That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn't mine - do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon."</em>

<em>[...]</em>

<em>In a little while I heard a low husky sob, and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.</em>
