Answer:
The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.

I would say the correct answer is A. <span>Despite the snowy and windy weather, a flock of young birds still manages to eat and survive. The imagery in the poem is dark and depressing. Bare trees, snow, dark wind are all the signs of forthcoming death, which is imminent. But even though the landscape is described as cruel and unforgiving, the flock of birds is still cheeping, eating and piping.

The correct option is B) “She had rested on the rock”. Helping verbs are verbs that help the main verb with its meaning and they also set the time of the verb. In this case, the helping verb “had” is helping the main verb “rested”. The auxiliary verb “had” is also setting the verb tense of the sentence, which is past perfect.
The other examples “paddled”, “went” and “swam” are action verbs that do not need a helping verb to extend or add meaning.
The answer is D .......!!!!
