1.based on what the reader knows about daisy, what can be inferred about gatsby’s motivation for arranging to meet daisy at nick’s home?
“he wants to know—’ continued jordan ‘—if you’ll invite daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over.’
the modesty of the demand shook me. he had waited five years and bought a mansion where he dispensed star-light to casual moths so that he could ‘come over’ some afternoon to a stranger’s garden.
‘did i have to know all this before he could ask such a
little thing? ’
‘he’s afraid. he’s waited so long. he thought you might be offended. you see he’s a regular tough underneath it all.’
something worried me. ‘why didn’t he ask you to arrange a meeting? ’
‘he wants her to see his house,’ she explained. ‘and your
house is right next door.’"
2.gatsby is worried that daisy will be too worried about tom's feelings if he reunites with her in her home.
gatsby believes that daisy will be impressed when she sees his large, expensive home.
gatsby believes that daisy does not want to go to jordan’s home because it is too far away.

3.examine the following passage from the great gatsby. what might the valley of ashes symbolize?
this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
the decay of a society that is focused too much on wealth
the remains of a volcano that took out everything regardless of its value
the highlight of the american dream
the beaty that lies in pain and ugliness
4.what words in the following passage have the greatest impact on the tone the author creates?
the valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river, and when the drawbridge is up to let barges through, the passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour.
valley, scene, hour
foul, dismal, stare
drawbridge, river, passage
bounded, waiting, small
5.read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
i decided to call to him. miss baker had mentioned him at dinner, and that would do for an introduction. but i didn’t call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone—he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as i was from him i could have sworn he was trembling. involuntarily i glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. when i looked once more for gatsby he had vanished, and i was alone again in the unquiet darkness.
how does this symbol of the green light represent the american dream?
the green light is symbolic of money and achievement which are major aspects of the pursuit of the american dream.
the green light symbolizes the american dream because gatsby and daisy both like the
color green.
the green light symbolizes the american dream because gatsby and daisy both like the color green.

Select the correct answer. what opinion about russian society does leo tolstoy express in this excerpt from the death of ivan ilyich? the awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. he saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. only gerasim recognized it and pitied him. and so ivan ilyich felt at ease only with him. he felt comforted when gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "don't you worry, ivan ilyich. i'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "if you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should i grudge a little trouble? " gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. once when ivan ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "we shall all of us die, so why should i grudge a little trouble? "—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. a. the peasant class in nineteenth-century russia was full of honest and compassionate people. b. educated professionals gained influence in russian society in the nineteenth century. c. in the nineteenth century, middle-class russians were rich and well-educated. d. peasants more readily accepted unpleasant facts of life, while the middle class tried to deny them.
