I forgot the name of this story, what was it?
The correct answer is A, compound. Because it consists of two independent clauses (Lorenzo peeled + and + (Lorenzo) sliced the potatoes this evening).

In this passage, Nick reflects on what the landscape must have looked like when the Dutch explorers arrived to the continent. He is looking at Gatsby's house, and at this point in the novel, we know that Nick believes that New York, as well as the people he has met, are vile, corrupt and greedy. He contrasts this view with that of the pristine continent on the arrival of the European settlers.
The phrase "fresh, green breast of the New World" presents a view that is "fresh." The land is new, but it is also fresh in the sense that it is not rotten. The land has not yet been "infected" with the corruption of modern times. Therefore, the phrase is intended to represent a time before America had become a land of greed and vice.
Answer: B, Evidence suggests that corn arrived in the American Southwest per 2.500 years ago.
The words from stanza VI, "And that imperial palace whence he came" have the following effect on the tone of the poem:
A) The palace represents a child's idyllic perspective on life, setting a melancholy tone.
William Wordsworth describes how miserable we grow to be as we get older. The palace he talks about is how a child sees life: pure, joyful, always exciting. However, life itself takes that palace away from us as we experience life in its naked entirety, with all the setbacks, sorrow, pain and misery. The author believes we all come from God, and that we are born with the wonders of Heaven floating above us. Losing such eagerness to live and smile is a melancholic perspective. That is why Christ says in the New Testament that in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must be like a child.
