Answer:

He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his unfulfilled dreams of trying to win back his former love which is the main and only purpose of his life. The story also deals with the theme of an American dream, the various obstacles that one encounters in life, and the evident social status that one maintains or tries to maintain to be "agreeable" for others.

In the given excerpt from the text, Nick, our narrator, describes his home. He agrees that his house at West Egg <em>"is an eyesore but it was a small eyesore"</em>. This seems to suggest that it was an eyesore for those living in East Egg but not that much as compared to the other houses in West Egg. This shows that <u>he is wealthy enough to live in a much better house than the others but at the same time, not wealthy enough to be able to reside in the "upper-class" East Egg side. </u>

Convert the following sentence from compound to complex sentence.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.

Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.

On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.

<u>We have the sentence:</u>

Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.

<u>We can make it:</u>

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.

"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.

You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."

APEX LEARNING QUESTION
Nadusha1986 [10]

The right answer is:  

The aspect of this passage which most creates suspense in the reader?  

A. The use of figurative language  

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>In order for suspense to work in The Tell-Tale Heart by Allan Poe, this story needs figurative language. The vulture eye which terrifies and haunts the narrator builds suspense until it comes to a conclusion.  </em>

<em>“It was open --wide, wide open --and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness, all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones...</em>

<em>but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: for I had directed the ray as if by instinct, precisely upon the spot.”  </em>

<em>This language is giving little away to tease the reader. Edgar Allan Poe uses figurative language to develop an inventive story that averts a certain outcome with lots of suspense.</em>
