After reading the excerpt from "The Great Gatsby," we can say the scene in Chapter 5 has the following effect:

A. It highlights Daisy's shallow, materialistic nature as well as Gatsby's pitiful efforts to impress her.

<h3>What happens in Chapter 5?</h3>
  • Gatsby finally got the love of his life, Daisy, to come over to his mansion. They had met 5 years before, but Daisy married another man when Gatsby left for the war.
  • Gatsby's purpose is to impress Daisy. He was born very poor, while Daisy was already wealthy before marrying the millionaire Tom. Gatsby makes a lot of effort to show Daisy how rich he is now.
  • Daisy's strange reaction, crying over Gatsby's shirts, is a sign that she is indeed impressed by the opulence of Gatsby's place and clothes. She is flattered when she realizes how much money he has spent.
  • Daisy is a shallow, materialistic woman. Otherwise, Gatsby wouldn't have felt the need to become a criminal and make money fast to impress her. They could have been together even if he were poor.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

It fails.

It can be inferred that in a questionable situation an officer would likely frisk a suspect to ensure they are unarmed, however, in some cases where police have taken advantage of their position of power, women have been "frisked" even when it was uncalled for and they were quite clearly unarmed. In most cases it may make sense to frisk them, but not in <em>all </em> cases and thus it fails to keep the peace because it causes more crime through corruption of power.
