Answer:

I believe the best option is letter D. She alluded to her husband's affair by the use of the word spree.

Explanation:

The interaction we are studying here takes place toward the end of the novel "The Great Gatsby". Tom, Daisy's husband, knows that she's been having an affair with Gatsby. However, instead of letting her go, he chooses to claim that he loves her. He says he sometimes has affairs, but his mind is always faithful to her:

“She does, though. The trouble is that sometimes she gets foolish ideas in her head and doesn’t know what she’s doing.” He nodded sagely. “And what’s more, I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time.”

As we can see, when Tom says he goes "off on a spree", he is alluding to the times he has affairs with other women. Daisy's response, even though addressing Nick and not Tom directly, uses the same expression is a more sarcastic way. She is probably angered by his using a euphemism to refer to his unfaithfulness:

"...I'm surprised that they didn't treat you to the story of that little spree."

How is the point of view established and developed in this passage?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Since the passage was not included, let me explain the types of point of view and its advantages. You can answer better by understanding the techniques.

Explanation:

Point of view refers to who is telling or narrating a story. A story can be told in three different ways: first person, second person, and third person. Writers use point of view to express the personal emotions of either themselves or their characters. The point of view of a story is how the writer wants to convey the experience to the reader.

First Person Point of view: With first-person point of view, the character is telling the story. You will see the words "I," "me," or "we" in first-person point of view. This point of view is commonly used for narratives and autobiographies.

Second Person Point of view: When writing in second-person point of view, the writer has the narrator speaking to the reader. The words "you," "your," and "yours" are used in this point of view. Some common uses for second-person point of view are directions, business writing, technical writing, song lyrics, speeches, and advertising.

Third Person Point of view: Third-person point of view has an external narrator telling the story. The words "he," "she," "it," or "they" are used in this point of view. This point of view can either be omniscient where the reader knows what all the characters are doing in the story or it can be limited to having the reader only know what is happening to one specific character.

What connection does the author draw between the terminology used to classify technology “addictions” and the treatments availab
Aleks04 [339]

While many similarities exist between substance abuse treatment for those in the criminal justice system and for those in the general population, people in the criminal justice system have added stressors, including but not limited to their precarious legal situation. Criminal justice clients also tend to have characteristics that affect treatment. These include criminal thinking and criminal values along with the more typical resistance and denial issues found in other substance abuse treatment populations.
