Answer:
This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.
Explanation:
In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.
Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "<em>she doesn't understand</em>". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "<em>obliterate the four years</em>" she's married to Tom, and "<em>go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago</em>". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.
Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "<em>I never loved you</em>" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.

The correct answer is Between 1990 and 2015 cut in half the number of people whose income is less than $1.25 a day.
Explanation:
One of the purposes of the UN or United Nations is to support the development of countries, which includes helping countries to increase education, reduce poverty, etc. Moreover, this organization achieves the purposes through specific goals or projects, such as the Millenium Project Goals that were designed to be achieved in 2015.
One of the goals that were successfully achieved was to "cut in half the number of people whose income is less than $1.25 a day". Indeed, according to the UN reports before this project began, there were almost 2 billion people that earned less than $1.25 a day, and by 2015 this was reduced to less than one billion, which shows it decreased to half as the UN aimed.
