A triangle RPQ is shown. S is a point on side PQ and T is a point on side PR. Points S and T are joined using a straight line. The length of PS is equal to 28, the length of SQ is equal to 12, the length of PT is equal to x and the length of TR is equal to 15. Patricia is writing statements as shown to prove that if segment ST is parallel to segment RQ, then x = 35.

Statement Reason
1. Segment ST is parallel to segment QR Given
2. Angle QRT is congruent to angle STP Corresponding angles formed by parallel lines and their transversal are congruent
3. Angle SPT is congruent to angle QPR Reflexive property of angles
4. Triangle SPT is similar to triangle QPR Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate
5. 28:40 = Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion

Which of the following can she use to complete statement 5?
x:15
x:(x + 15)
28:15
28:(x + 15)

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. 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.
