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.

Fill in the gap to form the most appropriate word for the sentence.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

RAY

Explanation:

The idiom "RAY of hope" means something that gives one respite or happiness and optimism especially after having experienced some bad times that seemed overwhelming.

The letter "R" is most definitely the right letter to complete the gap to form the appropriate word "RAY", which when paired with the words "of hope" gives us an idiom that perfectly goes in agreement with the whole idea of the message the sentence conveys.

The most appropriate word is definitely "RAY". The birth of a child is what is likened to a "ray of hope" in the given sentence. This gives hope and optimism, as posited by the author.

Answer:

A. Puzzles are a lot of fun. They require patience and strategy; one strategy is to start with the edge pieces and then group pieces by color.

Explanation:

A properly breaks up the first two parts of the run on phrase. B and C do not, inserting a comma but the two independent clauses without anything to join them. D has an unnecessary comma after the first word, and a run-on sentence after the semicolon.
