Answer and Explanation:

The text we are analyzing here is part of Chapter 8 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The main character, Gatsby, has gone through a lot in his pursuit of Daisy, the love of his life. When Gatsby left for the war, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful millionaire. Now, Gatsby is trying to get her back. He gets involved with criminal businesses to become a millionaire as well and moves to a mansion right across the bay from Daisy's. Gatsby throws grand parties with the hope that Daisy will one day walk through his doors. They eventually become lovers, but a tragedy is about to end it all for them.

"Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees."

In the text above, Gatsby is about to be killed by George Wilson. There are a couple of symbols in the text that foreshadow Gatsby's death, such as his brief hesitation and the yellowing trees - green would mean life, but yellow is a reminder that winter is on its way, and that the trees will soon look lifeless. It is also interesting to notice that he is finally about to take a swim in his pool, something he hasn't done all summer. It is ironic that, when Gatsby finally takes some time to enjoy his life, it will suddenly be taken from him.

Reread the following quote from paragraph 10: “He really thought I liked it here, that I did not care for my freedom.” How does
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

This quote contributes to the idea that doctor's begin thinking that she liked being there in isolation than caring for her freedom.

Explanation:

"Letter from Mary Mallon" On Being Typhoid Mary" is a letter written by Mary to her lawyer informing him about his treatment in quarantine. Mary Mallon was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid who spread the infection to the houses where she cooked, of which some died.

Doctor's then kept her in quarantine on an island where she was not given proper medical treatment. She became a mere observational subject to them.

The inclusion of the quote in paragraph 10 contributes to the idea that the doctor's begin thinking that she loved being there, in isolation. This quote is ironic because Mary did want to get free but she was declined freedom. And develops the idea how poorly she was being treated there against her will.

Which statement is the best evaluation of the research question? It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion an
andre [41]

I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:

"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"

Answer:

The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:

A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.

Explanation:

The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.
