Answer:

A. Selfishness and greed

Explanation:

With these words, said by one of the characters of the novel, Nick, who was referring to Tom and Daisy, Fitzgerald is criticizing the ruthless, selfish and greedy nature of these two characters: they do as they please, have no consideration for others, do harm on purpose, and simply walk away from the mess they make and go back to their materialistic way of living. Their behavior, indeed, was intended to reflect the American way of living during the 1920s which was characterized for little regard for morals.

Chad buys peanuts in 2 pound bags. he replackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts. how many 2-pound bags of peanut

cricket20 [7]

First we must find the number of bags that hold 5/6 pound and that number multiplied by 5/6 must be a whole number. For example: 5/6 * 6 = 5. Also that number must be divisible by 2 ( because we have 2 pound bags of peanuts to replace ). Therefore: 5/6 * 12 = 10 pounds.
10 : 2 = 5 bags.
Answer: Chad should buy 5 ( five ) 2-pound bags of peanuts so that he can fill the 5/6-pound bags without having any peanuts left over.

We had lunch: sandwiches, potato chips, and iced tea. Carolyn and her mother talked mostly about neighbors and the congregation

Nina [5.8K]

<span>By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is similar to him, Soto supports the idea that there are very few differences among cultures.

I believe this is correct, because there are many descriptive words in the passage. If Soto would have left these words out the reader would not know where the story takes place.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

I believe many people are more concerned with the after life rather than the present life because it is not happening now, while the present life is. While people may still live their lives in the present many are based on their beliefs of the afterlife. Evidence that shows people think this way, is things like religion. If someone is a Christian or Buddhist they live their life now based on what they think is going to happen in the afterlife. I believe a person's view of the afterlife affects day to day things that affect the life they're living now. For example, in the Buddhist religion if it is against their laws to sleep more than six hours, then someone who follows that religion is not going to do that now in their present life because of how it may affect them in the afterlife. A person's view of the afterlife definitely affects how they treat others because, if someone believes that there is nothing after this life then there is nothing for them to work towards in this life, so they may choose to live it however they want with no apparent consequences. This includes treating people however they want, kindly or maliciously. But on the other hand, even if people do not believe there is anything after this life they could choose to live it to their best because there will be nothing else. Others based on their view of the afterlife treat people a certain way because of their beliefs, Christians for example are supposed to treat everyone with kindness as Jesus did.
