<u>D. Watching television makes people more intelligent.</u>

The author provides two examples to back up that watching television makes people more intelligent: First, they mention that people who watch television are more informed about the world (They are more aware, and can have a better view on what's going on), and second, they mention that people who regularly watch the World History Channel answer questions correctly 10% more often than those who don't watch the channel, meaning that these people are better at test than others who do not watch T.V.

The other options are incorrect:

A. Watching television is a complete waste of time: The author claims exactly the opposite.

B. People are aware that television is a good source of information: The author begins by asserting the opposite "Many people believe that television makes a person less intelligent".

C. People who watch more television are better at tests. Although the author does make this point, it is just a part of his main claim which is that people who watch more television are intelligent overall.

1. Explain how Gatsby feels about love.
sdas [7]

Answer:

1. Gatsby certainly did love Daisy, and all she represented to him - -success, power, and glamor. She was the unattainable, his Dream. However, Gatsby creates this love for Daisy, just as he creates a fantasy life. She is integral to his dream for success.

number 2 is asking to apply YOUR own life. this one I can't answer.

3. t's about the costs of fantasy—inevitable costs, since our dreams and fantasies are part of who we are. ... (Gatsby, Nick concludes, made the mistake of “living too long with a single dream”; this makes him admirable, but also unwise, even delusional.) A kind of fatigue sets in.

4. However, I inferred you are referring to the article written by Joshua Rothman in the Newyorker entitled "The Serious Superficiality of The Great Gatsby".

5. 1) The American dream  2) Gatsby's love for Daisy

Explanation:

I would highly suggest you look at cliff notes or spark notes. I read this back in high school and The 2 sites were very helpful with answering questions like this! hope this helps.
