In The Great Gatsby, what is Fitzgerald trying to say about the European legacy that prevails in American high society?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The Great Gatsby features extremely wealthy characters. Readers are given a look at the upper-upper class of the society. However, even in this social stratum, there is still a divide -- old money and new money. The old money people have had their wealth passed on from generation to generation, supposedly from rich European ancestors. New money folks worked hard to gain their wealth and did not come from rich families. In this regard, the proud old money look down on the new money since they do not really see them as part of the wealthiest.

The correct answer should be Simple to recognize and simple to avoid

Subjectivity can easily be noticed in speeches, written media, art, or anything similar. If people have opinions and beliefs then it affects their creativity and it produces biased things. This can be avoided easily by both writers and observers.

Let a be the number of positive multiples of 6 that are less than 30. Let b be the number of positive integers that are less than $30$, and a multiple of $3$ and a multiple of $2$. Compute $(a - b)^3$.

Answers

Answer:

0 or -3375

Explanation:

The question is somewhat ambiguous because we can't be sure whether B will be positive integers which are multiples of both 3 and 2 or 3 and 2 separately.

For the former:

There a 4 multiples of 6 less than 30: 6, 12, 18, 24.

Positive integers (whole numbers) less than 30: 1-29 ; multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and of those, only 6, 12, 18 and 24 are multiples of both 2 and 3.            

Therefore we have (4-4)^3 = 0

For the latter:

multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 ; Multiples of 2:  2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 (remove common multiples)

Therefore (4-19)^3 = -3375

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Let $x$ be a multiple of $6$. Then $x = 6 \cdot n$ for some integer $n$. So $x = 2 \cdot (3n)$ and $x = 3 \cdot (2n)$. This means that $x$ is a multiple of $3$ and $x$ is a multiple of $2$. So multiples of $6$ must be multiples of $2$ and multiples of $3$.

Every number that is a multiple of both 2 and 3 must also be a multiple of the least common multiple of 2 and 3, which is 6. Hence any number that is a multiple of $3$ and a multiple of $2$ is a multiple of $6$.

We have shown that the numbers that are multiples of $6$ and the numbers that are multiples of $2$ and multiples of $3$ are exactly the same numbers, since any multiple of $6$ is a multiple of $2$ and a multiple of $3$, and any number that is a multiple of $2$ and a multiple of $3$ is a multiple of $6$. So we must have $a = b$. A number minus itself is zero, so our final answer is$$(a - b)^3 = 0^3 = 0

Suppose you're writing a letter and you recall a word you'd like to use, but you don't know how it's spelled. If you wanted to look up the word in a dictionary, you could use any of the following techniques excepta. Looking up a related word that u can spell in search of clues
b. Looking up the word as you think it's spelled
c. Using the first letter of the word and searching through all th entries under that letter.
d. Writing the word the way you think it's spelled to jog your recall

Answers

a, b, and d are good ways to find the word that you do not remember. All of them can help you. On the contrary, the option c. is not a good way, because you will see that there are too many words in the dictionary starting by any letter. So, the answer to the question is the option c. "Using the first letter of the word and searching through all the entries under that letter" is the answer to the question", which definitely is not a good technique to find the word that you want.

I'd say the answer is B, because she is warned there not to let her 'keen wit' hurt her, or that she should be careful so as not to hurt herself. 

Which quote from “Borders” best describes the reason the mother and son slept in their car? (1 point)a. “We sat out under the stars the night, and my mother all sorts of stories.”
b. “Laetitia had a lot of pride, and so did my mother.”
c. “When she was still at home, Laetitia would go on and on about Salt Lake City.”
d. “After a week or so, I got bored and wasn’t at all sad when my mother said we should be heading back home.”

Answers

Answer: b. “Laetitia had a lot of pride, and so did my mother.”

In "Borders," the narrator's mother refuses to identify herself as either American or Canadian. She argues that her identity as Blackfoot does not match any of those borders. This is a great source of pride for the woman. However, it means that the travellers have trouble crossing the border, and are forced to sleep in the car.

I would go with the answer C because pride can be a reason. But I'm not sure.
