It all depends on which American Dream you're talking about.
When I Google the American Dream, a website defines it as "...the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone."
This isn't true. It just isn't.
In a perfect world, the dream itself doesn't change, but the rules we have in place to keep specific groups of people lower than others do. I personally believe it can't. I do think it is achievable without hard work; specifically if you aren't a minority, and born into a rich family. But, this is just my personal opinion.
Answer: C
Jonas entered the gym and waved to Fiona, his physical therapist. With her guidance, he walked across the floor with a walker, gently putting weight on his injured leg. Then he sat on the bench and lifted the weight she recommended. On the final repetition, he gritted his teeth in discomfort. Finally, he allowed her to demonstrate two new stretching exercises that would restore his flexibility. He tried each one dutifully and assured her that he would perform them every night.
The answer to this question is The patient is cooperative and determined
Explanation:
In this paragraph, the narrator describes the actions of Jonas as he goes to the gym after having a serious injury in his leg. In this, details such as "with her guidance" and "He tried each one dutifully" show Jonas is cooperative because he is following every one of the instructions of the physical therapist.
Moreover, in this text the narrator shows Jonas as determined, this can be inferred in details such as "assured her that he would perform them every night" because Jonas seems quite determined to recover and due to this, he goes to the gym and follows the instructions of the therapist. According to this, it can be inferred he is cooperative and determined.
The lines from the poem The Lady’s Dressing Room by Jonathan Swift that would help the reader infer Celia’s social class are:
Five hours, (and who can do it less in?) / By haughty Celia spent in dressing; /The goddess from her chamber issues, / Arrayed in lace, brocades and tissues.
It is a satire about an upper-class woman’s dressing room. Women of higher classes tend to spend more time embellishing themselves than women of lower classes do. They care more about their physical appearance.
