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.

Read this excerpt from "The Song of the Old Mother" by William Butler Yeats.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The answer is:  A) <u>The rhyme scheme supports the narrator’s complaint of monotony.</u>

Explanation:

This excerpt is basically explaining a routine; however it doesn't seem as to be enjoying it or being cheerful about it, justyfing this, we can see a modal verb there, "must" which implies obligation; so this is the reasin wht letter B isn't possible. This excerpt isn't humorous as well, adjectives and nouns are used in a simple manner, nothing humorous to see, as well as no emotional outburst for, again, simple words are used, nothing to exaggerate being humorous or emotional, this is why letter C and D aren't correct. On the other hand we have letter A which is basically what a routine is about "monotony".
