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.

baherus [9]
There once was a boy named Ben,
he lived in a cottage with his mother and father. One time he was playing and broke his mothers lamp and hid it under the bed. The next day Ben’s mother asked him if he had seen her lamp, but Ben said to his mother “No mother I have not seen your lamp.” On the next day his mother asked him again.
But Ben said “No mother I have not.”
On the third day Ben’s mother was cleaning under her bed and cut herself on some glass. She looked under the bed and shrieked with shock. Ben came running into his mother’s bedroom,
“What’s wrong mother?” He said.
“Ben? Did u hide this lamp under my bed?”
“No mother, why would I do that?”
“I’m sorry mother, I cannot lie to you anymore, I broke your lamp and hid it under the bed, I’m so sorry mother.”
“Oh Ben, why would you do such a terrible thing?”
Then, out of nowhere she gave me a big bear hug.
“I’m not mad at you she said.” I just wish that you had told me the truth.” She said with a calm and soothing voice.
And this is why you should never lie, you should always be honest no matter what the consequences are.

Tisha's graduation picnic will cost $12 if it
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

18 attendees

Explanation:

40-12 = 28

28-12 = 16

16-12 = 4

That's the lowest she can go. So there are only three 12's there so you multiply the 6 by 3.

6*3 = 18 attendees

▓ Sorry if this makes no since, I'm tired right now. I hope you can understand my sloppy writing. ▓

Which two words have related meanings?
vovikov84 [41]

The two words that have the same meaning are recognize and grasp. Words with similar meanings are known as synonyms.

What are synonyms?

A synonym is a word used to describe a term, morpheme, or phrase in a given language that is the exact or nearly exact equivalent. For instance, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all interchangeable synonyms in the English language. The usual test for synonymy is whether one form may be swapped for another without changing the sense of the sentence. For example, long and extended are interchangeable when used to refer to length of time or extended period of time, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family. Only one sense of a word is considered synonymous. There is a semantic field overlap when synonyms with comparable meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe, as opposed to synonyms with the exact same meaning sharing a seme or denotational sememe. The former is often referred to as a near-synonym, plesionym, or poecilonym, whilst the former is commonly referred to as a cognitive synonym.
