Answer:

B. Lost love

Explanation:

The fact that the centre-piece was a bride-cake tells us it is related to love. A marriage symbolizes the peak of love that a couple feels. In other words, the couple wants to see that love materialized in someway, the tradition is a marriage. As the cake is overhung with cobwebs we can infere that the wedding never took place, it's purpose was never achieved. The cobwebs represent all the time that has passed since the marriage was supposed to be realized. All the time the bride has been waiting, the hope that someday love will return to her life. We can say this because the cake is still in the middle of the table, it is a centre-piece, meaning it is still very important.

What reservations does nick have about gatsby's feelings for daisy
Maslowich
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway feels that  Daisy and Gatsby's relation will most certainly end poorly.  Nick believes that the couple's relationship is structured upon illusion, at least on the part of Gatsby.  Nick believes that Gatsby is attempting, through his relationship with Daisy, to relive the past in order to create a new future.  Furthermore, Nick feels that Daisy's affections for Gatsby is owed not to any sort of true, emotional love, but rather an attraction to his wealth.

Wittaler [7]
“We were Liars” by E. Lockhart
The main character is Cadence sinclair

10 questions i would ask the character:

- the character will probably say that she regrets everything and would do anything to take things back

4.) would it be better if you remembered the tragedy later or earlier?
- i don’t know how he character will answer this tbh but i think she might say later because it’s better to unfold a tragedy slowly

5.) how do you plan on coping the loss?
- i think the character will say to remember the values of the happiest moments with them and always cherish it

6.) If your family approved Gat, would you still burn the house down since your family controls your cousins as well?
- i am not sure how the character will respond to this

7.) Do you plan on running away from your family and choose Gat?
- i think the character will say yes because she love him no matter what they say

8.) why do you think your family is cursed?
