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.

Explanation:

"The Death of a Soldier" is a poem written by Wallace Stevens. The poem metamorphically describes the death of a soldier to spring. Just like in every spring, leaves are expected to fall, the death of soldiers is expected in the wars. The theme that the death of a soldier is seen as unavoidable and a common happening is illustrated in the poem.

The line or verse that supports this theme is Line 1, "Life contracts and death is expected." The very first line of the poem illustrates the theme that death is expected in the war.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
