How does the creation of the four hundred list contribute to the idea of keeping up with the joneses

English

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

"The Four Hundred" list was a phrase coined by Ward McAllister, a rich New Yorker who thought that there were exactly 400 people in New York who mattered. This elite was strictly limited, in his opinion, which means that people within this circle held up to each other, disregarding the outside world and always trying to become better than the neighbor: they wanted to spend more, live in bigger homes, have more expensive cars, all in hope to better show off their top position on the social ladder.

Blizzard [7]

Hello. This is a personal question and must be answered with your own opinions. However, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer and Explanation:

I am familiar with these tests because I have already answered many of their simulators on the internet, to prepare me for the moment when I need to take one of them to enter college. I am interested in taking the SAT because of the ease in finding simulators, allowing me to be able to prepare myself very well, and because it is accepted in all universities in the country, allowing me to have a wide variety of options when I need to join one of them.

Which of the following sentences uses the word envious correctly?
yan [13]

Answer:

C. Marcia was envious when Gabby got a new car for her birthday.

Explanation:

Envious means "feeling or showing envy" and as that isn't super helpful (jk), envy means having a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. In the examles, the only one showing this is when Marcia ia envious of Gabby, she wished she has her possession (care), etc.

Fun fact: Jealousy is sometimes used when envious should be :D

(although they are quite similar, to be jealous can also means "fiercely protective or vigilant of one's rights or possessions" and jealousy is the act of being envious, it's kind of confusing
