Hidden Hopes

English
1 answer:
harina [27]2 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

B. David is not happy that his dad has moved them from the city to a home ten miles from town. When he finds an old, abandoned carousel deep in their woods, the idea of an adventure to learn about its history gives David hope.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Option B accurately summarizes the passage as it includes all the important events and ideas presented in it. <u>David is neither angry at his father, nor does he hate him; in fact he "didn't want to harbor ill feelings against his dad"; however, moving to the country did make him sad as he "did not share his dad's affection for the country" and "longed to be back in the city where he had grown up."</u>

Moreover, when <u>he goes exploring the land to find out why the land was so devalued, he finds an old, abandoned carousel deep in the woods, and wants to find more about its history in the town library, which gives him a sense of adventure and </u>the <u>hope</u> that there might be something for him to like in the country after all. The second part of the summary covers this half of the narrative accurately, and hence is the correct option.

explain the difference between what gatsby appears to be on the outside and what he really is on the inside
Lana71 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Jay Gatsby is the main character of the novel "The Great Gatsby", by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. When the narrator, Nick, first hears of him, Gatsby is but a name, faceless, connected to grand parties and wealth.

On the outside, Gatsby has an almost flawless appearance. He dresses finely and modernly. He lives in a castle, surrounded by servants. He drives a fancy car, and knows influential people. He always, as Daisy describes him, "looks cool". He says he is an Oxford man, the inheritor of a big fortune, a world traveler. He is good-looking, well-spoken - a "true" gentleman. Gatsby gives the impression of being secure, of knowing his place in the world. He seems to have life figured out.

But there is a reason why Gatsby is only "almost" flawless. On the inside, he is none of the things described above. Even though he is a good man with grand dreams, he is insecure. Born in extreme poverty, Gatsby thinks wealth will solve all his self-esteem issues. He is afraid people will see through the façade he has built, see the true Gatsby: an uneducated man whose fortune comes from selling illegal alcohol. On the inside, Gatsby is far from being a gentleman or from being cool. He is scared, tense, eager, almost desperate. He wants to be seen, but he also fears it tremendously.

How does liquid water evaporate into the air?​
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

With the help of the sun, liquid water can evaporate into air in the form of water vapor.

Explanation:

The sun heats water, be it ocean water or a glass of water you left outside. When it heats this liquid, the water evaporates and converts into water vapor. This is because the molecules in water begin to vibrate and motion spontaneously, also making them a gas.
