Answer:
A. Selfishness and greed
Explanation:
With these words, said by one of the characters of the novel, Nick, who was referring to Tom and Daisy, Fitzgerald is criticizing the ruthless, selfish and greedy nature of these two characters: they do as they please, have no consideration for others, do harm on purpose, and simply walk away from the mess they make and go back to their materialistic way of living. Their behavior, indeed, was intended to reflect the American way of living during the 1920s which was characterized for little regard for morals.
Answer:
Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?
I'm a single mother with three children in the public school system, and I'm tired of all this testing mania. I realize that teachers and students need to be assessed, but enough is enough already. I am against extending the school day for standardized-test tutoring. I work long hours and don't get to spend enough time with my kids as it is. I don't want them coming home just in time for dinner only to disappear into their rooms and do homework until bedtime. But I'm also against pulling students out of supposedly "nonessential classes" like music and art just so they can spend even more time on the so-called essential classes. I happen to think that music and art are essential, and I know my children agree.
