The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”

In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.

The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.

Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.

And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.

Answer:

The correct answer is the third one. Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.

Explanation:

The remaining sentences give the idea that the patio table flipped back on its feet on its own, or that it was already turned over and the storm flipped it back or vice versa.

Dear ZhNya,

you won't believe what happened to me today I saved a kid from death. The kid was in a apartment that was catching on fire! I walked up to the apartment when I noticed a crowd. I asked what was going on, and a man answered there's a kid in a apartment that was on fire. That reminded me of my sister who died in a fire so I, ran into the apartment without a second thought. I went in and looked everywhere until I found the kid. Then I ran out in a hurry because I was running out of breath. That's the story of how I saved a kid.

Describe the gradual revelation of Gatsby’s character. What do we learn about him and when? Why is this an appropriate way of le

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Gatsby is something of an enigma for the beginning of the novel. It isn't until Nick and Daisy fit into the scene that Gatsby's character slowly comes out.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is narrated from a first-person perspective by Nick. He is Jay Gatsby's neighbor and Daisy's - Gatsby's love interest - cousin. At first, Gatsby is an enigma to Nick and, consequently, to readers as well, since we only know what is narrated by him. However, as soon as Gatsby realizes Nick is related to Daisy, his character begins to be slowly revealed.

We get to know about Gatsby's made-up story of his past in Chapter 4. He claims to be the inheritor of his parents' fortune, to have traveled the world, and to have attended Oxford. He even has a real picture to prove it. However, even though he did attend Oxford, it was for only five months as it was an opportunity given to some army officials. Gatsby takes half-truths and embellishes them to make his life more impressive. He's ashamed to have grown up poor.

Gatsby's true story is told in Chapter 6 as per Nick's decision. He could have told it later, in Chapter 8, when Gatsby told him the story, following the real chronology of events. He chooses to do it earlier because he doesn't want readers to misjudge Gatsby. And it works. We get to know how poor and ambitious Gatsby was as a child, how meeting Daisy made him work even harder for fortune and a chance to be with her, how his criminal choices were all made with a pure heart.
