The correct answers are the following:

Question 1: option A. The two things that Scott Fitzgerald is comparing metaphorically by choosing "Babylon Revisited" as the title of his story are an ancient, ruined city and Charley's former life of excess. Babylon is used a reference for a city that was characterized by sin, extravagance and excess. And when Charley returns to Paris, he is also forced to revisit his former life of excesses.

Question 2: option A. "In Another country" the narrator thinks he is not as brave as the other soldiers. The narrator who is named Nick Adams is a former football player who has been bounded in his knee during the War. When Nick is getting treatment for his injury, he meets other soldiers and learn their stories, and how most of them had been awarded by their government for their services. This is when Nick feels and thinks that he is not as brave as the rest of the solider he has just met. He feels that way because he had received his medal just for the fact of being American, while the rest of the soldiers, who are Italian, received theirs for conducting acts of bravery.

In which statement is the transition used correctly?

Alinara [238K]

The second alternative is correct (B).

"Gold in California ignited interest in a railroad to reach the West. However, Americans disagreed on where to build the railroad."

The use of the conjunction "however" in this context connects the two sentences with a contraposition, giving the exact meaning for the continuity of the text. In this way, it became clear that there was a need to build a railroad, but there was no unity among Americans about where to build the railroad.
