Answer:

The heading that best confirms her prediction is C. Exercise and Relaxation.

Explanation:

It is common for readers to make predictions about the text they are going to read based on information previously collected. Reading the headline and skimming the text for some cue words help indicate the path the author has likely followed. <u>Suppose Marissa knows the text is about firefighter, either because she skimmed it or because someone told her so. If she reads the headline "Exercise and Relaxation", she will probably predict the text is not about what firefighters do while helping in an emergency, but about what they do on their free time.</u>

The other options wouldn't lead her prediction down the same path. "Ranks and Insignia" could be about hierarchy and medals/prizes for performing well; Essential Equipment would inform readers on what objects are necessary for a firefighter to do his job; Types of Trucks, as the headline says, would discuss the different types of firetrucks, their advantages and disadvantages. To lead someone to predict the text will address what firefighters do when there is not an emergency, the best option is really "Exercise and Relaxation".

Option C is the correct answer.

Which of these is a symbol in the novel the great gatsby?
ivanzaharov [21]
<span>The Green LightSituated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsby’s West Egg lawn, the green light represents Gatsby’s hopes and dreams for the future. Gatsby associates it with Daisy, and in Chapter 1 he reaches toward it in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal. Because Gatsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal. In Chapter 9, Nick compares the green light to how America, rising out of the ocean, must have looked to early settlers of the new nation.The Valley of AshesFirst introduced in Chapter 2, the valley of ashes between West Egg and New York City consists of a long stretch of desolate land created by the dumping of industrial ashes. It represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.The Eyes of Doctor T. J. EckleburgThe eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are a pair of fading, bespectacled eyes painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. They may represent God staring down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, though the novel never makes this point explicitly. Instead, throughout the novel, Fitzgerald suggests that symbols only have meaning because characters instill them with meaning. The connection between the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg and God exists only in George Wilson’s grief-stricken mind. This lack of concrete significance contributes to the unsettling nature of the image. Thus, the eyes also come to represent the essential meaninglessness of the world and the arbitrariness of the mental process by which people invest objects with meaning. Nick explores these ideas in Chapter 8, when he imagines Gatsby’s final thoughts as a depressed consideration of the emptiness of symbols and dreams.</span>
