Answer:
B. It was very important to her
<span>I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The characteristic of the Jazz Age that is present in the first five chapters of The Great Gatsby would be extravagant lifestyles. This story is about the life of the characters in that story which gives reflection to the life of the author. </span>
I think it's most likely that the flood deposited silt on the land, which made it fertile and allowed crops to grow in it.
This excerpt probably should have included the verse following it, which
is "Here is Odysseus' hall, no hall like this!" So they are standing at
the gate at the home of Odysseus.
He has in fact made a long
journey home, so B could be correct. The journey did require patience
and endurance, so A could be correct. But I would go with D, happiness
upon returning home.
A reasonable argument could be made for
all of the above. Symbolism can be subjective, and each reader may
interpret things differently.
