Answer:

<u>B. middle-class</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Remember</em>, according to sociologist, basically, there are <u>four </u>types of socioeconomic class distinctions, they are:

  • upper-class
  • middle-class.
  • lower-class (or working-class) and
  • poor

Alexandra Penney falls within the middle-class because her background information constitutes the life of a middle-class citizen. For example, one obvious pointer to this is found when we are told she has <em>"40 white shirts." </em><em>Meaning? </em>she has more than enough clothing. The fact she presently complains over her condition signifies she is in the struggling middle-class bracket.

I wouldn't say he's the nicest guy around, but I've seen him behave not unkindly before.
madreJ [45]
If you are telling us to revise the sentence, one error is that there is a double negative. 'not' and 'un' would cancel each other, and the revised sentence 'I wouldn't say he's the nicest guy around, but I've seen him behave kindly before.'

The Great Gatsby: Chapters 6-7 quiz
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Mr. and Mrs. Sloane and Tom leave. They do not wait for Gatsby.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) in which he explores themes such as the depravity of society and the decadence of the American dream.

The narrator is Nick, Gatsby's neighbor. Nick is cousin to Daisy, Gatsby's love interest. Daisy is married to millionaire Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful and brute man. Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are just minor characters who, like Tom and Daisy, are wealthy and shallow.

At a certain point in the story, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are riding their horses when they stop by Gatsby's house to have a drink of water. Gatsby, unlike them, is new money. He does not come from a wealthy, traditional family. Thus, he is desperate to be accepted by the old money society. <u>When Mrs. Sloane, out of politeness, invites Gatsby to dine with them, Gatsby accepts the invitation without realizing it was not serious. While he goes inside his house for a moment, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane leave. They do not wait for him to come with them. It is interesting that they find Gatsby's acceptance of the invitation to be rude, but do not care when they are rude to him themselves.</u>

Which of the following did not hamper labor organization?
igor_vitrenko [27]

The need for qualified workers did not hamper the organization of work, as shown in the last answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Labor organizations were looking for improvements in the labor sector, which guaranteed labor rights, better wages, and more security.
  • However, many people saw this as a way of harming entrepreneurs and tried to fight these organizations.
  • Thus, to harm organizations, laws were passed against organizations, accusations of disloyalty to America, and a strong fear that this would increase the price of manufacturing products and that this would increase the price paid by consumers.

However, the need for skilled workers did not harm labor organizations, on the contrary, this need promoted other organizations and ensured safer and more specific work.
