There is a lot of illegally shipped alcohol, which everyone gets's drunk and becomes rowdy. This was during the time prohibition was an illegal and organized crime involving "speakeasies" and such places that would smuggle alcohol. Many of guests were people who were usually dying to get in contact with Gatsby for maybe a job or some big break, they wanted to be rich and famous like him. It shows the "moral decay" and a huge amount of materialism that was running rampant in the 1920's when consumerism was on the rise. In the 1920's it was all fun and games until the huge economic depression of the 30's.

it’s obvious now that the colonies should be free of unfair taxes and have certain rights such as governing ourselves. the british have rejected all the colonists actions to make peace, no matter how much they have begged and positioned the king nothing as worked. this is the first clue that the kind can have no rhyme or reason to his taxes and can do as he sees fit with them.

Answer:

Some the Louisiana Purchase was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished because of the sheer amount of land the U.S gained for such an infinitesimal price in comparison.

Explanation:

(I'm not sure of the answer choices, but I can still try to help.)

The Louisiana Purchase is an infamous deal made by Thomas Jefferson that doubled the size of the United States. Part, if not all, of some states were founded from this decision. The people that believe the Louisiana Purchase was so great was because doubling the country by buying land for only three cents per acre was one of the greatest deals in history.

Therefore, the immense amount of land gained for such a small price (in comparison), is the reason some believed that the Louisiana Purchase was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished.

You can also check the first sentence of the paragraph you inserted, which sums up what I just explained. The sentence reads: "Some say that this real estate deal was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished because it doubled the size of the country and secured ownership of New Orleans."
