Answer:
Nick knows how shallow and selfish Tom and Daisy are. He despises them precisely because they despise Gatsby. See the explanation below:
Explanation:
This question refers to "The Great Gatsby," a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) in which themes such as the decadence of the American dream and the corruption of society are developed.
Nick is the narrator in the novel. He and Gatsby, the main character, are neighbors. Gatsby is in love with Daisy, who happens to be Nick's cousin. Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan.
As the plot progresses, we get to see how despicable Tom and Daisy are, at least to Nick's eyes. They are selfish people who place their desires ahead of anyone else's.Tom in unfaithful to Daisy. He is a sexist and racist man who is only rich because he inherited his money. Daisy also comes from a well-off family. She betrays Tom with Gatsby, and her life is dedicated to avoiding boredom.
Gatsby, on the other hand, was born extremely poor. He is a millionaire now, but only because he went into shady business, such as selling alcohol illegally. When he tries to break Tom and Daisy up, Gatsby is humiliated. Tom and Daisy look down on him, considering themselves his superior. They are old money, Gatsby is new money. They have faults and sins, but Gatsby's seem worse in their eyes. That is why Nick says they are a "rotten crowd". Who are they to judge Gatsby? Why would they think they are better than him when his heart is pure while their hearts are vile? Gatsby became a criminal and made money just because he wanted to be with Daisy. To Nick, that dream is incorruptible, and Gatsby deserves admiration.

Which sentence in the Gettysburg Address supports the claim that President Lincoln did not recognize the historical importance of his speech?
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, concelved in liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that "all men are created equal."
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation
might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow, this ground
- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that, from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in
vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.
Answer:
C. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
Explanation:
The Gettysburg Address is one of the most well-known speeches in history. In this sentence, Abraham Lincoln expresses his belief that "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here."
Using what you know about the historical context at the time of publication, discuss one characteristic of Victorian life that is present in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Explanation:
Although the Victorian era was characterized by the great economic revolution that Britain had due to the great industrial revolution, Victorian society was characterized by a life of "appearances" where values such as virtue, honesty and so on were instilled in society. such as respect for moral norms; But in reality it was the opposite, there was a great moral debauchery as well as hypocrisy on the part of the upper classes that lived only from appearances, it was considered very "honorable and respectable to a doctor" but his lifestyle showed the opposite, therefore we can say that "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a great criticism of this Victorian era.
Prepare a speech about culture identity using what you've learned from the short story "Everyday Use" by Alice walker
Hi. This question requires you to give a speech based on your interpretation of how the story "Everyday Use" presents the theme of cultural identity. This interpretation is something very personal and corresponds to your perception of this theme. This is very personal and for that reason I can't write this speech for you, but I can show you how to write a speech and that's what I'm going to do.
To give a speech you must follow these steps:
Introduction: You should quickly present the "Everyday Use" plot and give your opinion on this book and the subject it covers. This will be your thesis statement and will determine your placement in the speech.Body: You will make two paragraphs. In the first paragraph you will present how the theme of cultural identity is presented in the book, how the author expresses it and what impact this representation has not only on the text, but on readers. The second paragraph should show how the representation of cultural identity shown in the book relates to the real world and how people are able to recognize their cultural identity. All this information must be supported by citations from the text.Conclusion: You must show your final reflection on the topic and your thoughts on everything that was said.Now that you know how to write a speech, let's talk a little bit about "Everyday Use" and how cultural identity is represented in the book.
"Everyday Use" tells a story about a family made up of three black women, who have very different views on how the black community should look and behave. All women identify with black culture, but while the mother and one of the daughters identify with black culture through the history of suffering, struggle, hard work and overcoming.
The other daughter identifies more shallowly, caring more with the aesthetics and appearance that this culture carries, but without caring too much about the history and the difficulties that black people have gone through and are going through. This causes the reader to start a discussion about the ideal form of cultural identity in a culture that has been as devalued as black culture. This discussion would be very relevant in his speech.

Answer:
"Everyday Use" tells a story about a family made up of three African American women, who have very different views on how the African American community should look and behave. All three women identify with African American culture, but the mother and one of the daughters identify with African American culture through the history of suffering, struggle, hard work and overcoming hard times.
The other daughter identifies as more sketchy, caring more about the aesthetics and appearance that this culture carries, but without caring too much about the history and the difficulties that African American people have gone through and are still going through. This causes the reader to start a discussion about the ideal form of cultural identity in a culture that has been as unacknowledged as African American culture. This discussion would be very relevant to today's topics of the African American subject.

Inaugural Address
by Nelson Mandela (excerpt)
Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Distinguished Guests, Comrades and Friends:
Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and
hope to newborn liberty.
Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity
will be proud.
Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in
justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.
All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today.
To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful
country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.
Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the
seasons change. We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom.
That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in
our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the
peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and
racial oppression
We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so
long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil.
The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to
build is upon us.
We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing
bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom
in conditions of relative peace. We commit ourselves to the construction of a complete, just and lasting peace.
We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we
shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts,
assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.
We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and
surrendered their lives so that we could be free. Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward.
We understand it still, that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.
We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.
Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for
each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this
beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world.
Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement.
God bless Africa!
Thank you.

Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly. There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practice. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For example, can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect.” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.
1. Both learning a foreign language and learning to fly need much practice. _______________

After the Compromise of 1877 led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, Democrats consolidated control of state legislatures throughout the region, effectively marking the end of Reconstruction.
Southern Black people saw the promise of equality under the law embodied by the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment and 15th Amendment to the Constitution receding quickly, and a return to disenfranchisement and other disadvantages as white supremacy reasserted itself across the South.
As historian C. Vann Woodward pointed out in a 1964 article about Plessy v. Ferguson, white and Black Southerners mixed relatively freely until the 1880s, when state legislatures passed the first laws requiring railroads to provide separate cars for “Negro” or “colored” passengers.

Read a key findings paragraph from an informative report on ocean pollution.
Discarded plastics in our oceans are a significant source of climate change. As these plastics float in the oceans, sunlight and heat cause them to release greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases cause the planet to warm. Preventing plastic from getting into the ocean will consequently lessen the release of greenhouse gases worldwide.
How could this paragraph be improved?
the addition of commentary
the inclusion of supporting evidence
the addition of a topic sentence
the inclusion of a recommendation
Answer:
B) the inclusion of supporting evidence
Explanation:
Pollution is the emission of volatile organic chemicals, such as greenhouse gases, from recycled plastics. Recycling includes melting old polymers and reshaping them into desired shapes and sizes. Melting releases volatile carbon fumes into the air, which mix with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which is then discharged into the air, increasing its concentration. Excess carbon depletes the ozone layer, causing the earth's atmosphere to heat up. The melting of arctic ice raises sea levels and changes sea waves. Ocean pollution is anticipated to have health consequences on creatures that rely on the water for food and habitat.
