Answer:
2-smaller than
Explanation:
Although you have not informed the text to which this question refers, we can say that individual families are smaller than society, since society is important due to the union of a large number of individuals, grouped into different types of families, including individual level.

Answer:
Hey I get why ya doubted yourself but the semi colon works.
Explanation:
Let me explain:
So with the two sentences you have if you had used a period the sentences wouldn't have connected as well. And since the first sentence connects to the second by trying to explain how the literature has changed perspective for society it just flows better.

He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.
Nick describes his place as "an eyesore". This detail shows us that the place he's renting is not nice in comparison to the other homes in West Egg. We also know that he must have some wealth in order to afford to pay eighty dollars a month during this time period. From this excerpt, there is no indication that Nick's choice to live in the small house is temporary or that he seems desperate to become part of the elite society. He may be impressed by material wealth because he describes the proximity of the millionaires as "consoling", so option A is also not a good choice.
