Read this passage 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?
a
Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator.
b
Everyone in East Egg lives in a palace.
c
Financial wealth is not relevant in this novel.
d
The narrator despises people who live in large homes.

Answer:

a . Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost dream, Daisy Buchanan, and his attempts to regain what he'd lost. The story delves into the themes of power, money, love, loyalty, and materialism.

In the given excerpt, Nick describes his house and what the setting is like. He described his house as "an eyesore", but the good part was that it was in "proximity of millionaires". He also added that the ones in East Egg were "white palaces", comparing the localities of West Egg and East Egg. These descriptions show that he is conscious and in want of material things, like wanting to be rich. It also reveals that the narrator seems to desire financial wealth.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

An environmentalist delivered a speech about how young people are unwilling to conserve natural resources. Which sentence in the passage contains the persuasive technique of expert opinion?

Teens and Conversion Trends

An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's movie on global warming, is now the fourth highest-grossing documentary of all time. But apparently, it isn't young adults who are paying the price of the ticket or, more important, taking the truth about the environment to heart.


In fact, the inconvenient truth today is that youths' willingness to conserve gas, heat, and energy has taken a steep plunge since the 1980s. According to data from Monitoring the Future, a federally funded national survey on trends in the attitudes, values, and behavior of high school seniors since 1976, there has been a clear decline in conservation behavior among 18-year-olds over the past 27 years; although, we are not yet sure whether these attitudes follow youths into adulthood. One of every fifteen teens participates in conservation. Compare that to one in five during the 1970s. This decline, interestingly, is coupled with a rise in materialistic values.


In fact, trends in materialism and conservation are highly related. At times when youths place higher value on material goods, they are also much less likely to say they would conserve resources. And when youths are more materially driven, they are also less likely to believe that natural resources will become scarce in the future. Since the 1990s, the trends in materialism seem to have topped out at a steady high level. The willingness to conserve keeps declining. These opposing values should raise a red flag about the consumer culture and its influence on youth.
