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?

It suggests that the narrator considers financial wealth as desirable for him.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" is about the lives of people living in two ends of the town, East Egg and West Egg. While one side represents all the wealth and good of people, the other side consists of those lesser wealthy people who try to live alongside the wealthier ones.

The passage provided in the question are from the first chapter of the text where Nick Carraway provides an introduction into the world of the 'new rich' West Egg in comparison to that of the already wealthy part East Egg. He states that his house was an eyesore but it also provides a "consoling proximity" to the "white palaces of fashionable East Egg". To him, being within view of this 'better' part of the town is still a good factor, for it made him feel as if he is also a part of that side of town. The use of the phrases all seem to show the desire of Nick about financial wealth and the effects it can have on the person, giving him a better, desirable position in life. He considers wealth as a driving factor for one's situation in life.

halibut, flounder, tuna, and trout are all fish. so your first answer is 1.) fish. and since fish is edible, your next answer would be 3). edible

to describe those fishes more thoroughly, some of those fishes live in fresh water, and some of the fishes live in salt water, and that is not a thing that they all have in common. the question is asking what is common with all of the fish, so answer choices 2). fresh water and 4). salt water are not right.

basic principle: a pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent) and must agree in number — singular/plural — with the thing to which it refers. the indefinite pronouns anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, no one, and nobody are always singular.
