<span>D. Old money is scornful of new money; in America, class rivalry can breed stereotypes.

From what Tom says, we know that he is not a big fan of Gatsby. We also know that he is only speculating when he says "I imagined it." Tom does not trust Gatsby as a newly rich person of high society. He also uses stereotypes when talking about how Gatsby came into his riches. We see this when he says, "A lot of these newly rich people are just big bootleggers". His generalization of the newly rich is considered stereotyping.

The correct answer is D.

One of the subjects addressed in Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gasby" is the rivalry between "Old Money" and "New Money".

"Old Money" were people who had grown up with wealth. They believed they had manners and good taste.

On the other gand, the "New Money" were people that, thanks to the American dream, could amass wealth and climb the social ladder. However, having been low or middle class for most of their lives, they did not abide to the Old Money idea of taste and class.

Another subject touched is stereotypes. In America, class rivalry has always led to the creation of stereotypes. New and Old money is no exception. We can see this trough Tom's point of view that, for Old money, the people that has acquired wealth, must have done so by being "bootleggers".

Which thesis is the strongest choice for an essay explaining the writer's vision of a utopia?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is your first option: <u>If a true utopia can ever be achieved, everyone must share the same vision and be willing to act for the common </u>

<u>good.</u>

Explanation:

The second and third option aren't the strongest choice for an essay explaining the writer's vision of a utopia, as the third option explains how he prepared his text and well the answer is:<em> by presenting many characteristics, </em>this doesn't give us any writer's vision at all, only a structure of his text. The second option, although it is indeed presenting the writer's vision, it isn't the strongest, for it only presents three limited and specified reasons; whereas, the first option, presents two visions, but they're not limited as sharing the same vision implies many things, acting for the common good too, for instance; giving shelter to the less fortunates in cold weather, feeding people on Thanksgiving, donating clothes, etc, etc... So this is the reson why this is the strongest choice.
