Tom Buchannan is a wealthy business man who comes from a well-to-do family from the MidWest. He is married to Daisy and has a daughter yet seems to care little for them due in large part to the fact that he cheats on his wife with Myrtle, is physically abusive to his wife, and barely shows affection toward his daughter. When Tom learned that Daisy was beginning a relationship with Gatsby, he found out as much information as he could about Gatsby and then called him out on all of the illegal things that he was into right in front of Daisy in order to ruin any possible relationship that Gatsby might have had with her.

George Wilson is a poor man who owns a gas station in the Valley of Ashes. He is described in the novel as being "anemic" looking and "barely alive". He seems to have no personality and does not even realize that his wife is having an affair until he finds a dog collar in her room. When George learns about this affair, he decides they are going to move out west and then when he thinks that she was having an affair with Gatsby (and thinks that Gatsby killed her) he walks all the way to Gatsby's house and shoots him and then kils himself.

These two men are similar in that they suppress their feelings for their wives until something goes wrong. At that point, both men are then willing to fight for their wives and do what is necessary to get them back or get back at someone for hurting her.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer and Explanation:

They travel together because they are very close friends who have known each other for many years and Henry's father believes that it is a good idea for them to spend time together as a student and become more cultured, in addition to being distracted.

Victos' return was postponed because he had a very high fever, became very ill and had to recover to endure the trip back to Geneva. Vitor only returns when he is completely recovered, but he managed to spend a good time while he was away.

Round 5,282 to the nearest ten <br> Math
Rina8888 [55]
When you round to the nearest tenth, you just look at the tenths place. In this case it's the 8. If the next number is below 5 then it stays the same. If it's above you add one. So your number would be 5,280. If the original number was 5,286 then the answer would be 5,290. Anyway the final answer is 5,280.

What does the fact that agatha feels she has to run away in order to avoid marriage reveal about ancient greek culture?
wolverine [178]

The fact that Agatha feels she has to run away to avoid marriage reveals that parents viewed their decisions about their children's future as final, option A.

<h3>What does the text reveal?</h3>

The excerpt from the text "A Grecian Wedding" revolves around Agatha's opinions and feelings concerning the common practice of arranged marriages in ancient Greece. Agatha knows her parents will soon find her a groom, so she considers running away to avoid it.

The fact that Agatha feels she has to run away reveals there is no arguing with her parents. There is no convincing them that she should not get married. In other words, parents saw their decisions about their children's future as final.

With the information above in mind, we can select option A as the correct answer for this question.

The missing text is the following:

Agatha’s sister, Demetria, was just 14 years old when her father informed her that she was to be married. This practice was not uncommon in ancient Greece. Many parents selected husbands for their teenage daughters, and grooms were often considerably older than brides. Agatha had known this day would probably come, and when it did she was anything but happy about it. Demetria was only a year older than Agatha. Demetria’s getting married meant Agatha was next in line to wed. The thought of her sister’s arranged marriage terrified Agatha—so much so that she considered running away to avoid the same fate. But Agatha also knew that this rebellious thought alone was enough to anger the gods. She was a girl, and the beliefs and customs prescribed by the gods required girls to obey their parents.
