Answer:
If the question is referring to Rothman's article "The Serious Superficiality of the Great Gatsby", I believe the correct answer is C. The novel is about refusing to see reality no matter the cost.
Explanation:
<u>According to Rothman, the novel's (and the eponymous film's) appeal stems from its flatness, seductiveness, and rejection of reality.</u> Even though the characters are nominally seeking love and meaning, they are "desperate to give in to nearly anything—a drink, a person, a story, a feeling, a song, a crowd, an idea".
Rothman goes on to say: <u>"'Gatsby' captures, with great vividness, the push and pull of illusion and self-delusion; the danger and thrill of forgetting, lying, and fantasizing; the hazards and the indispensability of dreaming and idealization."</u> The underlying reality of the novel and the so-called "roaring twenties" that serve as its backdrop is grim. It's a world of deep class struggles, poverty, social climbers such as Gatsby who earned millions illegally. However, the characters in "Gatsby" are eager to sweep these unpleasant issues under the rug and cover them with parties, riches, gossip, and other superficial ways to kill time.
The correct answer is D. Price
Explanation:
The words fee, salary, fare, and price are related to money. However, all of these have slightly different meanings and are used in different contexts. In the case of the word price, this refers to the money someone pays for a product. This makes this word appropriate to complete the sentence "Thomas bought that pen at a low..." because this is related to buying a product. On the other hand, the word fee is usually used to refer to the money paid for services, the word fare is used in transportation contexts and salary is used to refer to the money someone receives for their work.
B: he is confident about his abilities
He shares that it will be dangerous, but he is attracted to the mystery of it all. Thus, option "B" is correct.
<h3>How, explain your answer briefly?</h3>
Going through the text, the writer's excitement is communicated with words like "trembling sensation". He is excited about the journey he is about to take but he is also aware of the dangers, therefore cautious.
So as he writes, he takes care not to expect much success. He also anticipates that he may not return, hence the line "should you never hear from me again".
He is clearly excited about his journey but cautious about the dangers and cautious enough not to ignite hope about his return to whoever he is writing to.
Thus, option "B" is correct.
