Fitzgerald describes Nick as non-judgmental, that he knows not everyone has had the same advantages he has had in life which helps him befriend and understand people. 

Because Nick is the narrator, it is important to set the character up in this way because the reader will be more likely to trust the observations of the other characters that Nick makes. If the reader thinks he is too judgmental, they might not believe his story as fully.

In what way is Zaroff portrayed as Rainsford’s foil?
dalvyx [7]
I believe the correct answer is <span>Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.
As you can see in the excerpt, Zaroff is not opposed to murdering other people, which he considers to be just a type of hunting. He doesn't value human life at all, and is indifferent towards whether they live or die, which is why his character is different from that of Rainsford's.

A central idea of "Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening" is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature in the woods.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.

Explanation:

The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.

While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.

And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
