This passage from "The Great Gatsby" is the introduction of how and why the man changed his name. This certainly presents the notion of ambition and uniqueness in behavior.
However, the question asks the theme it explore. So, the correct answer is "Option-D", which states:
Good luck follows those who are really ready for it; ambitious individuals go to great length to gain status.
Analyzing the following expressions:
The expressions above are oxymorons, meaning that they put together words whose meaning are contrasting. We would assume that, if something or someone is pretty, they cannot be ugly; if something is true, it cannot be a lie.
That, however, is not the real purpose of this rhetorical device. The apparent contradiction mentioned above is precisely that: apparent. It does make sense in context because the first word serves as an intensifier of the second word.
We can observe that in the following examples:
- The bruise on his leg after the accident was pretty ugly.
- I can't believe she said that to you! Those are true lies.
In both instances, the first words of the oxymoron are intensifying the second one. The cut wasn't merely ugly, it was very ugly. "Pretty" does not keep its original meaning in this context.
The same happens with the word "true". The lies told were extremely obvious. "True" does not keep its original meaning either.
Answer:
The folktale's lesson is that everything in life is fleeting and uncertain, with the exception of the misery and death that are the only elements of the real world that all human beings know will be inescapable.
Explanation:
Folktales often offer lessons in morals and life. This is because this is how societies passed on their teachings and experiences from generation to generation. These lessons presented concepts regarding the ethical values of a given culture as they taught lessons on behavior, resilience, perseverance and advice on how to resist life's problems, or on the very problems that were common to societies and that were part of human growth.
