1. to(prep) Chicago (obj)

2. by(prep) car(obj)

3. By(prep) afternoon(obj)

4. for(prep) lunch(obj)

5. near(prep) river(obj)

6. on(prep) water(obj)

7. for(prep) trip(obj)

8. of(prep) Chicago(obj)

9. at(prep) motel(obj)

A preposition tells where one noun is in relation to another noun. It is always followed by a noun, which is the object of a preposition. One silly way to remember most prepositions is to think about a squirrel and a tree. A squirrel can go (through, on, under, in, off, to, by...) the tree. There are a few prepositions that just need to be remembered such as for.

3. By <u>afternoon</u>, it became very warm.

4. We stopped for <u>lunch</u>.

5. We chose a cool spot near a <u>river</u>.

6. The sun sparkled on the <u>water</u>.

7. Our lunch stop refreshed us for the long <u>trip</u>.

8. Finally we saw the skyline of <u>Chicago</u>.

9. We were happy at the first<u> motel</u>.

Common prepositions are  about, after, at, before, behind, by, during, for, from, in, of, over, past, to, under, up, and with.

In order to choose your object, ask yourself questions:

2. How did they go?

3. When did it get warm?

4. Why did they stop?

5. What was the spot near to?

6. Where did the sun sparkle?

2. Why do Tom and Nick stop in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city? How does
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.
