Answer:
B Kevin went to collect pens and pencils from an elementary school near her house.
Explanation:
A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or a noun phrase. In the second sentence the writer, applied a wrong usage or application of the pronoun her to Kevin who is most likely a boy because boys are known to bear the name Kevin. So, instead of this usage of the pronoun her, the author should have used him. Therefore the correct rendering of this sentence is;
Kevin went to collect pens and pencils from an elementary school near his house.
Answer:
If the question is referring to Rothman's article "The Serious Superficiality of the Great Gatsby", I believe the correct answer is C. The novel is about refusing to see reality no matter the cost.
Explanation:
<u>According to Rothman, the novel's (and the eponymous film's) appeal stems from its flatness, seductiveness, and rejection of reality.</u> Even though the characters are nominally seeking love and meaning, they are "desperate to give in to nearly anything—a drink, a person, a story, a feeling, a song, a crowd, an idea".
Rothman goes on to say: <u>"'Gatsby' captures, with great vividness, the push and pull of illusion and self-delusion; the danger and thrill of forgetting, lying, and fantasizing; the hazards and the indispensability of dreaming and idealization."</u> The underlying reality of the novel and the so-called "roaring twenties" that serve as its backdrop is grim. It's a world of deep class struggles, poverty, social climbers such as Gatsby who earned millions illegally. However, the characters in "Gatsby" are eager to sweep these unpleasant issues under the rug and cover them with parties, riches, gossip, and other superficial ways to kill time.

Answer:
Both the events of the 1992 LA Riots and the current social and political conflicts in America have the same origin, which is none other than the inequalities of social, economic and political opportunities that exist between African Americans and whites in the United States.
Thus, the 1992 LA Riots arose after the assault on Rodney King by the police and his subsequent acquittal by a mostly white jury, which demonstrated the impunity that the police had in the face of attacks on black people, as well as the structural power of whites versus blacks in the government structure.
In turn, the current disturbances arose after the murder of George Floyd by white police officers, thus repeating the pattern of abuse of power by the security forces, especially against members of the African-American community.
