Tom feels like he is of the "superior" race. He explains a book that he read that says that if they don't watch out, the white race will be "submerged" in just a matter of years. Clearly he believes that as a white man he is of the dominant race, and the fact that there is a book published about it and he can freely say these things shows that many people in society are of the same mind.
Some people today still think this way, although it is socially not acceptable to say it or act like it. Fitzgerald probably included this information to show how opinionated Tom is and set the tone of society at the time.
The correct answer is <span>B. The tents, leaking in at least a dozen places, were abandoned by the campers who were lured by the dry, warm cabin.
This is the only sentences that places the modifier <em>leaking in at least a dozen places </em>correctly.
A and D are incorrect because the way those two sentences are written, it would seem that the campers, and not the tents, were leaking. C is also incorrect because it seems that the warm cabins are leaking, when in fact the tents were. So B is the only correct answer.
