Answer:
Nick is correct in believing that Gatsby is a man not to be trusted.
Explanation:
Nick Carraway is a character in "The Great Gatsby". Despite being Gatsby's neighbor and attending his parties, he doesn't know anything about Gatsby. He doesn't know how Gatsby got rich, what he does, who his family is, nothing. Nor does anyone in the neighborhood know anything about Gatsby.
For this reason, Nick has serious suspicions about Gatsby and the little he finds out about Gatsby during the narrative, makes him more suspicious, about Gatsby's position in relation to what is outside his objectives. For this reason, he is correct in not thinking that Gatsby is a reliable man.
1st Person is the point of view for that paragraph
Answer:
Although “Hills Like White Elephants” is primarily a conversation between the American man and his girlfriend, neither of the speakers truly communicates with the other, highlighting the rift between the two. Both talk, but neither listens or understands the other’s point of view. Frustrated and placating, the American man will say almost anything to convince his girlfriend to have the operation, which, although never mentioned by name, is understood to be an abortion. He tells her he loves her, for example, and that everything between them will go back to the way it used to be. The girl, meanwhile, waffles indecisively, at one point conceding that she’ll have the abortion just to shut him up. When the man still persists, she finally begs him to “please, please, please, please, please, please” stop talking, realizing the futility of their conversation. In fact, the girl’s nickname, “Jig,” subtly indicates that the two characters merely dance around each other and the issue at hand without ever saying anything meaningful. The girl’s inability to speak Spanish with the bartender, moreover, not only illustrates her dependence on the American but also the difficulty she has expressing herself to others.
Answer:
B and D
Explanation:
Lines A and C use perfect rhyme (minds - finds), and so do lines E and F (cheeks - weeks).
The rhyme in the pair of lines B, D is formed by words with similar but not identical sounds. In the words <em>love</em> and <em>remove,</em> the final consonants are identical but the vowels sound different. That is why this type of rhyme is called slant thyme, or half rhyme.
Answer:
B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”
Explanation:
The short story "The Medicine Bag" by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a young boy named Martin who used to brag about his Sioux grandfather Joe Iron Shell. But his demeanor changed the moment his grandfather decided to come to his home in person.
Martin loved talking about his grandfather, telling his friends who have a picture of Martin's grandfather as someone larger than life, making <em>"Grandpa and the reservation sound glamorous"</em>. And everything went well as long as grandpa stayed in the reservation but the moment he decided to visit Martin's family in Iowa, he felt unsure. This is because his friends will now see the real grandfather he had boasted so much about and then see the reality of the man they had thought to be an impressive and great man. The main conflict is shown when Martin admitted he <em>"wanted to sink right through the pavement"</em>. He felt ashamed of the way his grandfather had dressed, admitting that his get-up was out of place for his neighborhood even if it wasn't for the reservation.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
