The Great Gatsby:What does Tom call Nick? Why? How does Nick feel about what Tom says

English

In Francis Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" (1925), Tom calls Nick "Nordic" during their first encounter in the book. Tom says "The idea is that we're Nordics. I am, and you are and you are and----"

He calls Nick Nordic because he has been reading a book called "The Rise of the Coloured Empires" by a man named Goddard. This book deals with the idea that White people are supposed to be the dominant race who brought civilization and the book also warns that if White people do not watch out, other races will become dominant and "control things".

Nick feels very displeased with Tom. He finds Tom an unpleasant, not intelligent, strong and aggressive man that bullies his wife and others. Nick also finds something pathetic in his concentration and in taking seriously a book so ludicrous while also failing to keep the train of thought while trying to explain the book to Nick.

"I do not dislike golf or tennis, and I actually enjoy swimming; yet while these may be sports that one can pursue long after hi
patriot [66]
This sentence seems grammatically correct, but it’s wordy. if this is your sentence in an essay or something, i’d recommend splitting it into two. it could be something like “i do not dislike golf or tennis, and I actually enjoy swimming. Still, they can in no way replace the value of team sports.”

Which of the following sentences has a Nonessential clause?
Bezzdna [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. "The Dallas Cowboys, who wore blue, were the worst football team in the league."

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Nonessential clauses are phrases within a sentence that are unnecessary and only provide additional information; however, the sentence could still work without the clause.

Identifying Nonessential Clauses

One of the best ways to identify a nonessential clause is to take it out of the sentence. If the sentence still makes sense, the clause was nonessential.

For example, the sentence, "The Dallas Cowboys were the worst football team in the league," still makes sense. You only lose a little information that was not needed to understand the sentence.

Comma Rules

Nonessential clauses are also known as interrupters. All interrupters need to be offset by commas. This means that there must be a comma before and after the interrupter. The only exception to this rule is if the interrupter is at the end of the sentence, so the period replaces the comma.

For example, "The movie had a great action scene, which was my favorite part." In this sentence, the interrupter is at the end, so there is only one comma.

We can use this information to answer this question. Only answer choice A has the clause offset by commas, so this clause must be nonessential.
