xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B: Replace the comma between limited and specifically with a semicolon.

Explanation:

We should replace the comma with a semicolon between the words limited and specifically because there are two independent clauses with thoughts related to each other; in this case, we cannot use a comma. Also, the word specifically is an adverb indicating some link to the first clause, but without a coordinating conjunction and therefore, a semicolon is necessary.

2. Why do Tom and Nick stop in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city? How does

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom "literally forced" him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his "company (is) bordered on violence" and that Tom had the "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do." This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.
