The correct answer is A, amelioration. In linguistics pejoration is a term used to signify how a word's meaning becomes downgraded and goes from having a positive meaning to having a negative meaning. Amelioration is a reverse term, it is a phenomenon where one word over time acquires a more positive meaning, as is the case with prestige, which now has a positive connotation.

It might not he the best. you may have to also check punctuation and grammar.

Explanation:

it was a great abyss, the wind howled and cried making my hair slash sharply against my numb face. a beautiful bottomless abyss. above, the miserable, heavy clouds darken and close in as if they were a wolf hunting its prey. a colage of various shades of greys and blues encapsulate the sky. a shiver runs down my spine as the biting cold freezes my soul. the only sign of humans stepping foot here is a rotting wooden walkway, with the long repetitive years of the harsh wind and waves that explode comfortably against this wooden structure, it was eroding away, it was a cold and unrelenting picturesque scene of the past.

Describe the change in personality that the narrator has undergone the great gatsby
olga_2 [115]
In the beginning of "The Great Gatsby", Nick brags that he is not at all judgmental and is able to understand where people are coming from. This leads him to trusting people and thinking the best of them. By the end of the novel, after he has had so many uncomfortable and unfortunate experiences tangled up in the lives of Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan, etc, Nick finds himself to be very judgmental of their lifestyle and personalities, especially the Buchanans. He removes himself from their company and becomes more reserved, less trusting.
