In The Great Gatsby, as is the same in any story, the setting is important because it helps set the tone (the author's attitude) and the mood (the reader's feelings) of the story. It also gives you a visual of a time one is not familiar with since it is set several years ago. The setting is also important to appeal to imagery (or all of your senses). Without the setting, one cannot place characters accurately or understand the actions of characters if they do not know the appropriate time, place, etc.

Answer:

The context clues that would be most helpful in figuring out the meaning of impotent as it is used in the excerpt are:

AND

the Crutches

In the context it appeared, this word could have been understood with the help of the context clues "the Crutches" and "Ever since the demilitarization". <u>Crutches, as we know, are instruments used to help someone move when they cannot do it on their own. Figuratively speaking, a crutch is anything that supports a person who has or faces disability of any kind in life. Demilitarization means removing or extinguishing military forces. Both words, "crutches" and "demilitarization" convey a sense of lack of power, which then leads to the meaning of impotent.</u>

Which are examples of physical changes occurring? (Select all that apply.)

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1, 2, 4,

Explanation:

A physical change changes the appearance of the subtsance but not its molecular structure. A chemical change will create a new substance, and therefore change the molecular structure. When baking bread, the yeast, heat, and water create a chemical reaction(which is why bread rises when it is baked) hope this helped.
