Answer:
Dear (Cousin's name),
I love playing this game called hot potato. To start you have an item, not too big, not too small. You find friends if you don't have any, and then you get in a loose spread out circle. You start throwing this item to each person next to you in a circle until someone drops it and screams in anger and rage at losing the game. Your goal is to touch the item for as little time as possible but not drop it. I hope the next time you come to visit we can play.
Yours truly,
Your favorite cousin

Answer:
b. For example
Explanation:
The expression <em>for example</em> is a subordinating transition which introduces an illustration or model of what is mentioned before. Thus, it provides evidence to support the previous statement.

The phrase <em>on the other hand</em> is incorrect because it is a coordinating transition which introduces an opposing point.

Answer:
And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit. Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes but after a certain point I don't care what it's founded on. When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction—Gatsby who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the "creative temperament"—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No—Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.
