reet drug-stores here and in chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter. that's one of his little stunts. i picked him for a bootlegger the first time i saw him, and i wasn't wrong." gatsby doesn't deny tom's accusation. obviously tom has gathered too much damaging information about him, and the more tom talks the worse it seems to everyone present . tom has found out that gatsby, with wolfsheim and others, is involved in other illegal activities. the fact that gatsby had bootlegging operations in the gangster-ridden city of chicago makes him seem especially corrupt, because that city was known for mobster rule, criminals like al capone, and frequent murders. page

Answer:

The question is asking for a comment on "side-street" in the following excerpt from the chapter Seven of The Great Gatsby is an equivalent of "side-street" in the sense of "underhanded," "secret," "sleazy"

Explanation:

If we look at the given excerpt, it can be stated that Gatsby and Meyer Wolfsheim are engaged in bootlegging, illegal drug sales, and possibly gambling

Though being on a side-street is not implicating in and of itself, Tom's mockery and choice of words indicate that he is using "side-street" in an ironic or offensive way.

Hence the answer to the given question is that side-street doesn't definitely mean "secret" or "sleazy." but if read the excerpt, one can conclude that here Tom is indicating a secrecy, illegality, and sleaziness.

In terms of health and life expectancy between men and women, what is "the great equalizer"?
sammy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Smoking".

Explanation:

  • Smoking will also be the "big  or great equalizer" for women who have suffered from heart failure. Men typically get a much-increased chance of developing heart problems among non-smokers versus girls who haven't already infertile.
  • Part of the whole success might be attributed to robust public awareness initiatives aimed at educating people about cigarette smoke's toxic contaminants and stopping teenagers from ever becoming addicts.
