Answer:

The quote said by Nick means that Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay, thus making it evident that jay Gatsby will be left again.

This quote is important as it gave a foreshadowing of what Jay will be getting, his illusion of getting back with Daisy being shattered and he will be left alone again.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the courage and commitment of a man named Jay Gatsby in his aim of attaining his previous lover Daisy even though sh had already been married to Tom Buchanan. the story also shows the different lives that the wealthy people like Tom and Daisy lead in comparison to Nick and Gatsby.

In Chapter 8, Nick says that <em>"[Gatsby] couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn’t bear to shake him free."</em> This statement shows his concern for his neighbor who seem to still think that he has a chance to get Daisy but which was an unlikely scenario as Nick already knows his cousin Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay. The statement means that Jay will be unsuccessful in his aim of getting Daisy.

This statement is also important as it acts as the final 'nail in the coffin' or Gatsby as it is the scene where he will be again dejected and left alone, unsuccessful in his illusion of regaining what he had previously lost.

Questions Your Response What kind of article is this: narrative (telling a story), expository (giving information or explaining
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<u>The article is an Expository article. </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note how the author, Matthew Hutson began the article, he said<em> </em><em>"Consider a series of experiments conducted by researchers led by...,"  </em>that is to say, he was giving information about the subject matter to his readers.

The main idea or central thesis of this article is to portray how Puritan believes are still present in American society today.

One reason was that "the so-called Protestant work ethic" of respected men like Martin Luther and John Calvin likely influenced the work habits of American culture.

One specific evidence that Hutson offer for why the Puritans still influence American culture today was a study that shows how the view of Martin Luther and John Calvin, in which "they believed in predestination and viewed success as a sign of salvation". I quote Hutson,

"American and Canadian college students were asked to solve word puzzles involving anagrams. But first, some were subtly exposed to (or “primed” with) salvation-related words like “heaven” and “redeem,” while others were exposed to neutral words. The researchers found that the Americans — but not the Canadians — solved more anagrams with salvation on the mind."

To some extent, because the study didn't claim all of American society were still been influenced by the Puritans but makes a balanced conclusion.
