She has everything in the world, but she is unhappy most fulfills the definition of paradox because she doesn’t love her husband, even though she has everything in the world.

The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan.

The correct answer is D. She has everything in the world, but she is unhappy.

Daisy, from Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," is a young, married woman, who seemingly has it all. She is rich, beautiful, has a lovely daughter, but is somehow unhappy. She fell in love with Gatsby when they were younger, but he disappeared and she had to marry someone else, which is one of the reasons she is sad.

Paradox is a figure of speech where you expect one thing to happen, but the reality is that the opposite will happen. We expect Daisy to be happy with all the things she has, but she is in fact not.

Which statement BEST expresses the theme of this poem?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

B) Nature enriches us through memory even when we are far from it.

Explanation:

The question is from William Wordsworth's I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud. Wordsworth, being a romantic poet, appreciates the beauty and liveliness of nature. The major theme of the poem is the impact of nature on humans. The poet describes one of his solitary walks and his encounter with "A host, of golden daffodils". He describes the sight as, "Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

Wordsworth then says that he envisions the sight again in his mind whenever he feels lonely. Now, even though he isn't currently watching them, just the thought of them of remembering them, puts him in a state of nostalgia.

Why did the US enter WWI? Write one paragraph

Virty [35]

Answer:

The U.S entered WW1 for several reasons. The U.S entered for two main reasons: one was that the Germans had declared unlimited German submarine warfare and the Zimmermann note. The German had totally disregarded the international laws protecting neutral nation’s ships by sinking neutral ships. We warned the Germans one too many times and they did not take us seriously so in 1917 we finally had enough and we joined the war.

The Germans had decided that they would sink any ship they wanted without warning even if it was a merchant ship. This had upset the Americans because they soon started losing

many American lives even though they were neutral. One of the worst incidents was the sinking of the Lusitania, a British luxury liner which the Germans sunk without first warning the ship. The Germans had killed 128 Americans that were on the luxury liner. After that incident the Germans sunk the Arabic and Sussex and created pledges with the United States saying that they would not sink anymore unarmed ships and would visit and search. The Germans how ever would go back on their pledges causing the U.S to get involved.

The Germans had sent the Zimmermann note to the German ambassador in Mexico but was intercepted and decoded by the British. It was then sent to the U.S and given to Wilson. This note helped the U.S enter the war. Wilson showed this note to congress to so that he would be allowed to arm merchant ships and then enter the war to fight germany.
