Answer 1

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby.

My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month.

Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there.

What message do phrases such as "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" convey to the reader?

Everyone in East Egg lives in a palace.

Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator.

The narrator despises people who live in large homes.

Financial wealth has no relevance in this novel.

Answer:

B. Financial Wealth is desirable to the narrator

Explanation:

The narrator shows that he lives in a humble and economically weak place, so much so that he refers to his own home as a monstrosity. However, when the author sees the rich part of the city that he can see from his house, he uses positive adjectives, which show that wealth is totally admirable and that he wants to have that wealth and not only admire it, but live it. For this reason, he uses the phrases: "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered"

Answer 2

From the excerpt that we have here the conclusion that came be made is that :

Financial Wealth is desirable to the narrator

According to the speaker, he would constantly throw a glance at the millionaires as he moved. He saw his eye as an ugly place to stay.

He is full of praises on how the rich areas looked. This goes to show that he values financial wealth.

The great Gatsby

This is about a man Nick who found himself living in a very rich neighborhood and how he tries to get himself acquainted with them.

Explanation:

Answer:

C "It suggests that the sculptor felt contempt for Ozymandias."

Explanation:

Ozymandias was a cruel ruler so it would take out D "It shows that the sculptor highly respected Ozymandias." as an answer. Mock means "tease or laugh at in a scornful or contemptuous manner." so that would take out B "It demonstrates that the sculptor was a relative of Ozymandias." and A "It indicates that the sculptor was afraid of Ozymandias." as an answer. Contempt means the act of despising which goes perfectly as the answer.

Answer:

This war was fought between America and Great Britain which started in the year 1812.It was in this war, that the American expansionist attempts to the north would be halted. The war was a huge loss to the American Indians who sought to fight and keep them on their land but would loose and their land was taken (Housman, Reginald). It is ironic, however, that this war ended in a stalemate having not benefited the parties that were taking in it. America did not occupy Canada as it hoped and neither did Great Britain, the colonial master of Canada acquire America.

Before the war of 1812, the British were engaged in the Napoleonic war against Napoleon of France in the Napoleonic wars. America sought to be neutral on the issue and its involvement at the time became only through trade. The British, however, instituted blockades and trade restrictions preventing American sailors from trading with the enemies of British i.e. French. This was an unfair move and was deemed to be an attack on the sovereignty of America and international laws(Reginald, 2017). The British would also force the American ships to first dock in the British ports and get a license before trading with any European nation. They made the American sailors join the British army, a move met with a lot of criticism and protest by the Americans against the British. The British were impressing the sailors were looking for British nationals who were avoiding the army by boarding American ships.

The War of 1812 pitted the young United States in a war against Great Britain, from whom the American colonies had won their independence in 1783. Press gangs, though ostensibly targeting British subjects for naval service, also swept up 6,000 to 9,000 Americans into the crews of British ships between 1803 and 1812. Andrew Jackson defeats the Creek Indians in the battle of Horseshoe Bend (Mississippi Territory). The British plan a three-part invasion of US: Chesapeake Bay, Lake Champlain, & the mouth of Mississippi River. The British are turned back at Baltimore harbour. The British burn the White House in Washington, D.C.War of 1812, (June 18, 1812–February 17, 1815), conflict fought between the United States and Great Britain over British violations of U.S. maritime rights. It ended with the exchange of ratifications of the Treaty of Ghent. Causes of the War of 1812 Maritime Issues. Impressment was the most volatile issue between the United States and Britain. Expansionism. The division of land after the Revolution did not leave everyone satisfied.

Political. Who won War of 1812? British ,The British won, despite what Americans may think. The British kept Canada, as well as the maritime policies that Americans say were the reason for the war. Why was the war of 1812 significant to the United States? Although often treated as a minor footnote to the bloody European war between France and Britain, the War of 1812 was crucial for the United States. Second, the war allowed the United States to rewrite its boundaries with Spain and solidify control over the lower Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.

Its all thanks to amazing technology and advanced science.2 Magnetic Levitation Transport (or Maglev for short) is a special train that uses magnetic forces to travel across the track levitating*. The maglev train floats by levitation using magnets. Two magnets, using opposing forces, push against each other, which enables the maglev to run. It doesnt use any fuel; instead it uses energy that is emitted from the track called a guide way. The maglev train can go up to 300 mph using this system.3 The maglev train has its pros and cons. One benefit to having a maglev train is that it is faster than a bullet train and uses 30% less energy than normal trains. Its track requires little maintenance and could create a new industry along with helping the economy. While these are pros, a maglev train also has its limitations that should be taken into account. The maglev trains tracks are more expensive than normal train tracks and a whole new set of tracks would have to be built. The last con is that, despite being quiet, air disturbance occurs by maglev train traversing the track.4 It may have costly limitations, but its pros are sure interesting.
