Answer:

In the sentence, the writer describes:

A. the central idea.

Explanation:

<u>We can define central idea as a declarative sentence whose purpose is to state the main topic of, for instance, an essay or a speech. That topic will be developed and supported with evidence and details throughout the work. A central idea can express a fact as well as an opinion.</u>

The sentence we are analyzing here is an example of a central idea. It states the topic this author will develop. According to him/her, Elizabethan women had oppressive lives. His/her work will expand this topic and support it with historical evidence.

Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The excerpt from "The Great Gatsby" that is the best example of foreshadowing is the first one:

". . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward - and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he has vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness."

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Among its themes are the degradation of society and of the American dream.

The excerpt we selected above serves as an example of foreshadowing. <u>Foreshadowing is a technique used in storytelling - be it in books or movies - in which authors give a piece of information that will later unfold into something important. In this case, the green light represents Gatsby's dreams and ideals. It is unreachable, as is his goal of having Daisy all to himself, as if she were never married to Tom. Nick, the narrator, glances at the light for a moment, and then notices Gatsby has disappeared. That is precisely what will happen later. In pursuit of his dream, Gatsby will end up dead.</u>
