Maybe she is old, and dying? Or maybe she read a book on philosophy, and is pondering the mysteries of her existence...
The value of "e" is 16.
a x 4 = e
b / 4 = e
c + 4 = 3
d - 4 = e
a + b + c + d = 100
a x 4 = e
a = e/4
b / 4 = e
b = 4e
c + 4 = e
c = e - 4
d - 4 = e
d = e + 4
e/4 + 4e + e - 4 + e + 4 = 100
e/4 + 4e + 2e = 100
e/4 + 6e = 100
e(1/4 + 6) = 100
e (1/4 + 6*4/4) = 100
e (1/4 + 24/4) = 100
e (25/4) = 100
e = 100 ÷ 25/4
e = 100 x 4/25
e = 400 / 25
e = 16
a = e/4 ⇒ 16/4 ⇒ a = 4
b = 4e ⇒ 4*16 ⇒ b = 64
c = e - 4 ⇒ 16 - 4 ⇒ c = 12
d = e + 4 ⇒ 16 + 4 ⇒ d = 20
a + b + c + d = 100
4 + 64 + 12 + 20 = 100
100 = 100
I chose "Ezra’s narration gives the reader insight into how important the date with Juliana is, which helps the reader better understand some of Ezra’s actions." but I'm not done with the quiz yet so idk if this is the right one.
Answer:
Gatsby likely bought his home in West Egg because he can be closer to Daisy Buchanan.
Explanation:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to be reunited with his former girl friend Daisy Buchanan, even though she had already been married to another man. The book also revolves around themes of social class, wealth, lost American dream, love, marriage, etc.
Though narrated by Nick Carraway, the neighbor of Gatsby and Daisy's cousin, the story's main protagonist is Jay Gatsby. While Daisy resides in East Egg, the wealthier part of the city, Nick and Jay's houses are situated on West Egg, the 'less fashionable part of the city. And Jay Gatsby's most likely reason for purchasing his home in West Egg seems to be that it will enable him to be closer to Daisy. This particular location is right across the bay from the Buchanan’s house.
Answer: D. indirect characterization
Explanation:
Direct characterization occurs when an author directly tells us about the character's personality traits. Indirect characterization, as its name suggests, happens when an author gives us an insight into a character's personality through the way the character speaks, thinks, looks, etc. In this particular excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's<em> Farewell to Arms</em> (1929), the character's personality is shown through his behavior towards the drivers. He gives them each a package of cigarettes and explains the plan to them, which demonstrates his generosity. In this excerpt, therefore, Hemingway develops the narrator through indirect characterization.
