Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

Options B through D simply do not make any sense. They overuse words, and are far too long. Sentence 2 starts off with "That ancient land was located in the Middle East." So it would make sense to start the revised sentence that way. Add "The Middle East" to sentence 1, and there you go.

Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

It is grammatically correct and gets rid of the wordiness of two sentences.

Why the other choices are not as good:

B. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, and the Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world.

This is basically the same as the original: there is nothing grammatically incorrect, but it is just too wordy.

C. A hot and sunny part of the world is the ancient land the Middle East.

This sentence changes it such that the focus is no longer on the ancient land or Middle East and rather on the "hot and sunny part".

D. Located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world, that ancient land.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, because it has only a dependent clause.

S Gatsby a criticism of the American Dream, or does it (cautiously) reaffirm it? Or is it something else entirely? (CLUE: Note t
UNO [17]

Answer: In <em>"The Great Gatsby",</em> Fitzgerald criticizes people's obsession with consumer culture and their wrong perception of the American dream.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's <em>"The Great Gatsby"</em> is a 1925 novel. Set in 1922, in the fictional towns of West and East Egg on Long Island, the novel explores the character of Jay Gatsby, and rich people around him. One of the main topics explored in the novel is that of the "American dream." The term was first used by James Truslow Adams, who described it as<em> "that dream of a land in which</em><em> life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone</em><em>, with </em><em>opportunity for each according to ability or achievement</em><em>" </em>("The Epic of America", 1931). Adams later argued that people have focused on gaining wealth so much that they forgot about the true values of the American dream. He reminds people that the American dream<em> "has not been a dream of merely material plenty."</em>

It could be argued that what Fitzgerald was trying to demonstrate in his novel is the corruption of the American dream. It seems that the characters put effort into gaining wealth, while they feel empty inside. The most obvious example is Jay Gatsby himself, as a man who has it all - luxurious house, expensive clothes, etc. However, he feels sad because he cannot be with the woman he loves and is lonely in his big house.
