Gatsby tells Nick lies about his past life. When they are riding together to New York, Gatsby says “something about my life”, he then proceeds to tell Nick about his very rich mix-western family background and “a family tradition” of his Oxford education. Gatsby also tells him how when his entire family died, he inherited lots of money which allowed him to travel all around Europe where he collected many jewels, painted, and tried to escape a sad memory. Nick was one of the very few people who was genuine in becoming friends with Gatsby, and Gatsby felt he needed Nicks approval. Gatsby also wants Nick to believe the wealthy background that Gatsby has invented about himself as a way of making it real.

Both independent and dependent clauses
katovenus [111]
It believe the answer is the second choice, "have a subject and a verb."

Independent clauses are complete sentences, which knocks out the third and fourth option. 
Dependent clauses are not complete thoughts, knocking out the first option.

What are five examples of transition words
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The most basic transition words are conjunctions that join words, phrases or clauses together. For example, words like "and," "but" and "or" can connect two sentences together:

I ran home, and I got there just in time.

I ran home, but I was still late.

As you can see in the example above, even simple conjunctions serve different purposes. The first sentence uses "and" as a transition word that connects the two occurrences equally. The second sentence uses "but," which introduces a contrast. Knowing what different transition words mean will help you choose the ones that best get your point across.

Other transition words are adverbs that describe the way an action is performed or how it relates to another idea. For example:

I went to the mall after he gave me my paycheck.

Explanation:

-cause and effect: consequently, therefore, accordingly, as a result, because, for this reason, hence, thus

-sequence: furthermore, in addition, moreover, first, second, third, finally, again, also, and, besides, further, in the first place, last, likewise, next, then, too

-comparison or contrast: similarly, also, in the same way, likewise, although, at the same time, but, conversely, even so, however, in contrast, nevertheless, nonetheless, notwithstanding, on the contrary, otherwise, still, yet

-example: for example, for instance, in fact, indeed, of course, specifically, that is, to illustrate

-purpose: for this purpose, for this reason, to this end, with this object

time or location: nearby, above, adjacent to, below, beyond, farther on, here, opposite to, there, to the south, before, after, later, afterward, immediately, in the meantime, meanwhile, now, since, soon, then, while
