The Great Gatsby

What does the comment about "fundamental decencies" by Nick tell you about him, his
perceptions of himself and others, and his understanding of his father's advice?

Answers

Answer 1

Nick's comment on "fundamental decencies" shows that he understood that his father's advice was within society's moral values, however, he allows himself to circumvent that advice and issue judgments, but keep it to himself.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Nick is a man who judges people constantly.However, he keeps his judgments to himself, as he knows it's not right to divulge them.This is because judging people is not a moral value established by society.He learned this from his father, who stated that he must not judge anyone.

So Nick can see non-judgment as part of the "fundamental decencies" established in society, which are presented as correct, but which are not always followed by everyone.

How might “Roller Coaster Physics” have been different if the author’s purpose had been to warn readers of the dangers of roller coasters?

Answers

The text would be different if the author started quoting how people can get hurt when using a roller coaster, without using technical or explanatory terms regarding the functioning of the roller coaster.

We can arrive at this answer because:

"Roller Coaster Physics" is a text that aims to explain to the reader how the roller coaster works.The text shows how the roller coaster has no engines and its entire operation depends on gravity, displacement, and acceleration.If the author intended to alert people to the dangers of the roller coaster, the text would have to be completely modified.

Thus, the author would not explain the operation and present the technical terms involved to lists the ways that people can get injured on the roller coaster and ways to avoid accidents.

Holden is trying to determine the velocity of his race car. He went 20 meters east, turned around, and went 40 meters west. His car was 20 meters from the starting line. This took 5 seconds. What is the car’s average velocity?
4 m/s east
4 m/s west
12 m/s west
12 m/s east

Answers

Answer: 4 m/s west

Explanation:

Edge 2021

Answer:

The average velocity can be found by calculating the total displacement of the car and dividing it by the total time.

The car's average velocity is "4 m/s west".

First, we will find the total displacement as follows:

Total Displacement = 20 m (East) + 40 m (West)

Taking East direction as positive and west direction as negative, we get:

Total Diplacement = 20 m - 40 m

Total Displacement = - 20 m = 20 m (West)

Now, the average velocity of the car will be:

Average Velocity = 4 m/s west

Question 1: A. of B. coffee C. leaf D. fault

Answers

For this question, we are supposed to find the word whose underlined part has a different sound from the others. In all words, the letter "f" is underlined. So, the one that has a different sound is:

A. Of

The same letter can represent different sounds when used in different words. For example, the letter "f" in "coffee", "leaf", and "fault" has a typical "f" sound.

However, that is not the case with the letter "f" in the word "of". Here, it has a "v" sound. Therefore, we can say the letter "f" in the word "of" has a different sound than in the other words.

With that in mind, we can choose option A as the one containing the word with a different sound.
