Answer: A. In traditional society, Algernon would be expected to defend his aunt. Instead, he speaks freely about his feelings toward family.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, we can see the conversation between Jack and Algernon, in which Jack is talking poorly about Algernon's aunt, by saying she is unbearable, and a monster, Algernon, instead of defending his aunt (like traditional society would expect him to do), he gives his opinion about how annoying he thinks family is.

Answer:

The first sentence refers to Daisy: the sole and intense purpose of Gatsby's existence. She represents that thing "beyond the stars" that Gatsby aspires to. His entire adult life has been devoted to becoming the kind of man he thought would be worthy for Daisy to marry. Daisy's family was wealthy and socially respectable; Gatsby came from nothing. Their youthful love affair ended in tragedy because Daisy felt she couldn't marry someone with no money or social standing. In becoming wealthy and socially viable, Gatsby also became decadent. The "purposeless splendor" of his lifestyle is revealed to be far deeper and more significant, as Nick realizes Gatsby's singular purpose is to win back Daisy. In Nick's eyes, this makes Gatsby even more impressive and admirable, because Gatsby represents chivalry and romance in a decadent modern age.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

B, "is situated"

Explanation:

Process of elimination:

A: The Oval Office is in the White House today, so the sentence should not be in the past tense.

C: This is not grammatically correct. The sentence needs a verb of a tense of "to be" like "is" or "was".

D: This is not grammatically correct. The sentence needs a verb of a tense of "to be" like "is" or "was". Also, since the Oval Office is singular, the word would be situates instead of situate anyway.
