Answer:
The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.
Explanation:
From the text we know that the children already acknowledge the poor storytelling abilities of their aunt and thus do not expect much from the story.
Despite the boring nature of the story, the aunt does try to lacklusterly include a moral, but the moral is completely ignored by the children who notice instead the many faults of the story.

Answer:
If the question is referring to Rothman's article "The Serious Superficiality of the Great Gatsby", I believe the correct answer is C. The novel is about refusing to see reality no matter the cost.
Explanation:
<u>According to Rothman, the novel's (and the eponymous film's) appeal stems from its flatness, seductiveness, and rejection of reality.</u> Even though the characters are nominally seeking love and meaning, they are "desperate to give in to nearly anything—a drink, a person, a story, a feeling, a song, a crowd, an idea".
Rothman goes on to say: <u>"'Gatsby' captures, with great vividness, the push and pull of illusion and self-delusion; the danger and thrill of forgetting, lying, and fantasizing; the hazards and the indispensability of dreaming and idealization."</u> The underlying reality of the novel and the so-called "roaring twenties" that serve as its backdrop is grim. It's a world of deep class struggles, poverty, social climbers such as Gatsby who earned millions illegally. However, the characters in "Gatsby" are eager to sweep these unpleasant issues under the rug and cover them with parties, riches, gossip, and other superficial ways to kill time.
