Answer:
The most concise way to combine these three sentences is:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Explanation:
<u>Concise means brief. That is, we are supposed to find a way to convey the same message as the original sentences but with few words.</u>
First, we need to see what the sentences have in common, so that we can <u>eliminate repetition</u>. All three clearly speak of <u>"the cars"</u>, so we can <u>only mention that subject one</u>. Sentences 2 and 3 use the verb "are" followed by characteristics of the cars. <u>We can use those characteristics as adjectives, right before the subject, instead of as predicates. That way, we eliminate the excessive use of verbs in one sentence.</u> That is precisely what letter D does:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
After reading the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we can match the minor characters to their descriptions in the following manner:
- Meyer Wolfsheim - Business associate of Gatsby's who appears broken over Gatsby's death, but does not attend his funeral.
- Owl Eyes - The only fellow to show to Gatsby's funeral besides Nick and Gatsby's father.
- Klipspringer - After Gatsby's death, he calls Nick at Gatsby's house because he wants to collect his shoes. He refuses an invitation to Gatsby's funeral.
<h3>What is a minor character?</h3>
- Minor characters are less important than the main characters in a story, but they still contribute to the development of the plot and, sometimes, even take part in conflicts.
<h3 /><h3>The minor characters in "The Great Gatsby":</h3>
- Wolfsheim, Owl Eyes, and Klipspringer are minor characters, which means they are not as important and do not appear as much as Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, and Nick, for example.
- Wolfsheim is Gatsby's business partner. In other words, he is also a criminal. Although he likes Gatsby very much, he does not attend his funeral.
- Owl Eyes is a man who wears spectacles and appears to be intoxicated in one of Gatsby's parties. Nick meets him in the library of the mansion. Surprisingly, he is the only one who actually cares about Gatsby's death enough to show up to the funeral.
- Klipspringer is a musician who lived at Gatsby's mansion. However, that is not enough to make him care about his death. He was most likely just enjoying the comfort and the easy life Gatsby provided him with.
