Answer:

3. She was eager to move on with her life, and did not want to wait for Gatsby.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his return to try to get his lost American dream- money and Daisy. Narrated by the protagonist's neighbor and daisy's cousin Nick Carraway, the story revolves around the lives of the wealthy in East Egg and the not-so-wealthy of west Egg.

Daisy Fay nee Buchanan was previously in love wit Jay Gatsby while he was in the army. With him gone overseas, she could not wait, "<em>She wanted her life shaped now, immediately— and the decision must be made by some force—of love, of  money, of unquestionable practicality</em>"(Chapter 8). So, when Tom Buchanan came, she immediately moved on, knowing he had the means to support her lifestyle. When Jordan Baker told Nick about Jay and Daisy (Chapter 4), she mentions that  she had received a letter from Jay, most probably asking her to rethink her decision to marry Tom. She had even got a 350,000 dollars pearl necklace, but she wasn't convinced. Later on, after she had freshened up and relaxed, she married Tom, as if nothing had happened at all.

The hook or the attention grabber sentence is immediately followed by the background information, but here the author fails to provide any significance or historical value that can comprehend readers' understanding of the topic.

Which sentence in the passage uses informal language?
notsponge [240]

Answer: The sentence which uses informal language is, I think that's pretty much all late for breakfast every day.

Explanation:

Informal language is a colloquial language which is often used in casual conversation. Such language cannot be used in academic writing. The passage mentioned above describes about the Paris trip.

If we look at the ending statement in the passage, ‘I think that's pretty much all late for breakfast every day’ we will notice that it contains a informal language which is ‘pretty much.’ The formal word for this term is ‘almost’ or ‘nearly’ which can be used in professional writing.
