A. One expects more than a few people to attend the funeral of a great man.


In the excerpt there are only three cars in the funeral procession. This is a very low number considering the title describes Gatsby as great. When one looks even further at who is in the cars, it is obvious that Gatsby was not as great as his lavish parties and lifestyle made him seem.

While the other options are likely to be true statements, except for D as that is a bit of a stretch, they do not support the title as being ironic. Irony, in this sense, is sarcasm. It's when something stated is actually the opposite.

eimsori [14]

The correct answer is A.

The ideas in this sentence are not coordinated at all. They are merely two sentences linked by the conjunction "and."

In order to coordinate it correctly, a more appropiate conjunction should be added. One possibility would be the word "also."

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Correct answer is A: It is a part of the exposition that describes Buck's

Explanation:

The story follows a dog named Buck, and all the misfortunes that happen to him. At one point of his life, he becomes a sled dog. It is true that in the lines following the mentioned paragraph, the author mentions that Buck welcomed these two dogs, but the accent of the story isn't really on Buck making friends. Also, there is mention about Spitz beating Billie and how Buck and Sol-leks got into a fight, but the accent of these paragraphs isn't on the fight. The writer rather focuses on the personal characteristics of each dog, which means that this is exposition that describes each of Buck's teammates.
