My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial vie

w of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month. What does this excerpt reveal about Nick? He is not particularly impressed by material wealth and fashionable appearances. He plans to move into another house as soon as the opportunity arises. He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place. He is desperate to become part of the elite society of West Egg and East Egg.

Answer:

What this passage tells us about Nick is:

C. He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Explanation:

Nick is impressionable enough to call his own house an eyesore and to think of the proximity of millionaires as "consoling". Therefore, we can eliminate option A. Option B is also wrong because there is nothing in the passage to reveal his desire to move to a different house. He likes it where he lives. Finally, option D speaks of desperation to become part of the elite, but Nick does not reveal that feeling at all. He is used to the company of wealthy people - perhaps not millionaires, but wealthy nonetheless.

<u>We are left with option C. Nick comes from a well-off family. He does have some means, and he can afford to live in West Egg. However, he is not so rich as to rent a mansion. He takes a smaller house, one that has been overlooked, whose rent is affordable and that offers the perks of living in a great neighborhood.</u>

Active- Passive: 1. Whom did you meet? 2.Whom did you give the book? 3. Who called you a list?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1. Whom was met by you?

2. To whom was the book given by you? OR Whom was the book given to by you?

3. By who were you called a list?

Explanation:

1. This is more simple. You simply find the verb "meet", determine the tense using the auxiliary verb "did" (past tense); from this you get "met". Then identify the subject ("you"), and string it all together with the passive voice form of questions: object + verb + by + subject, or "Whom was met by you?".

2. For this question, the original active voice question was grammatically wrong: it should be "To whom did you give the book?" or "Whom did you give the book to?" Using the same method mentioned in question 1, you'll get the answer.

3. This is a little different from the other two questions, since it's asking about the identity of the subject, not the object. This means the sentence structure should be similar, but with the subject moved to the start. This could technically be done to all of the questions, but most people use the "object + verb to be + verb + by + subject" form for finding the object.

Anyways, back to the question: the form used should be "by + subject + verb to be + object + verb". This explains the answer.

Sorry if I didn't explain the answers that well
