Explanation:
To Label or Not to Label: California Prepares to Vote on Genetically Engineered Foods by Richard Dahl (excerpt) Although campaigns for and against GE labeling [for genetically engineered foods] in California are focusing heavily on economic impacts, the real debate revolves around a scientific question: Are these foods truly safe or not? “I think it’s fair to say that most scientists think the techniques that are used [to create GE plants] are not inherently dangerous,” says Peggy Lemaux, a cooperative extension specialist in the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. In fact, in 2010 the European Commission released an analysis of 50 studies conducted on GE foods over the last 25 years and concluded that GE technologies posed no greater risks than conventional breeding technologies.... “The reason I don’t worry about GMOs [genetically modified foods] is not because someone has convinced me with a big study that they’re safe,” says Michael Eisen, an associate professor of genetics, genomics, and development at the University of California, Berkeley, and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. “It’s because when I look at the technology, I understand what this technology is doing. They’re introducing proteins that have been very well characterized into plants, and I don’t see any reason at all to suspect that these are harmful. . . .” Some scientists, however, believe questions about the safety of GE foods are far from answered. Doug Gurian-Sherman, senior scientist with the Food and Environment Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, says the question is not whether there’s risk involved in GE foods, but whether it’s greater than risks posed by conventional foods. “Because of the greater capacity to bring unknown quantities into the food supply, I’m of the school that says it has somewhat higher potential for risk,” he says. “Other scientists say no. But I don’t think it’s a settled debate.” Hansen responds to claims that there’s no evidence of harm from GE foods by saying, “That’s just not true. I can show you all kinds of studies in the scientific literature that have . . . raised red flags that need to be followed up on.” In one such study, investigators reviewed 19 studies of mammals fed GE soybeans and maize. They found that “several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects,” with the kidneys more affected in males and the liver more affected in females. The authors, noting the limitations of the 28- and 90-day assays they reviewed, pointed out that chronic toxicity testing is not required for GE foods, but that it should be. 7 Select the correct answer.

Received daily telegraph
15. The Daily Telegraph was not delivered on Sunday.
Violet didn’t go on Sunday
16. April 6, 1890 was a Sunday.
Violet Hunter did not visit Baker Street on April 6, 1890
17. Watson says, "Holmes had been buried in the morning papers all the way down..."
Didn’t come on a Sunday
18. April 20, 1890 was a Sunday.
Holmes and Watson did not arrive in Winchester on April 20, 1890
"The date of Violet Hunter's visit to Baker Street can be deduced by considering the provided clues in chronological order and applying logical reasoning.
1. The story takes place in the early spring. This is a broad clue, but it suggests the months of March, April, or May.
2. Holmes refers to the singular experience of Miss Mary Sutherland, which occurred in A Case of Identity. Since A Case of Identity took place in June 1889, the current case must occur after this date.
3. The Copper Beeches was published in June 1892, so the current case must occur before this date.
4. The only case in 1891 was The Final Problem, and Holmes was missing and presumed dead from May 1891 until April 1894. Therefore, the current case cannot be in 1891.
5. Violet Hunter mentions that two nights later...It was a beautiful moonlight night... Since there was no moon in the sky in England from April 11 to April 25, 1890, the moonlight night must have occurred after April 25, 1890.
6. Watson mentions that A fortnight went by...The telegram which we eventually received came late one night... Since a fortnight is 14 days, we can count back 14 days from the date of the telegram to find the date of Violet Hunter's initial visit.
7. Holmes and Watson went to Winchester on the day following the telegram's arrival. This means the telegram did not arrive on a Sunday because there is no mention of any delay due to the Sunday observance.
8. Violet Hunter says, I shall...start for Winchester tomorrow.... This indicates that her visit to Baker Street was the day before they received the telegram.
9. Watson says, ...it was just seven when we reached the Copper Beeches...in the light of the setting sun... The sun set before 7 p.m. on April 19 and the days preceding. This clue helps confirm the date once we have narrowed down the possibilities.
10. The Daily Telegraph was not delivered on Sunday. Since Watson mentions Holmes reading the Daily Telegraph, the visit could not have occurred on a Sunday. April 6, 1890, was a Sunday, so the visit did not occur on this date.
11. Watson says, Holmes had been buried in the morning papers all the way down... This indicates that the visit occurred on a day when the morning papers were delivered, which excludes Sundays.
By combining these clues, we can deduce that Violet Hunter's visit to Baker Street occurred after April 25, 1890, since there was no moon before that date. Counting back a fortnight from any day after April 25, excluding Sundays, gives us a range of possible dates for her initial visit. Since the telegram arrived late one night and they left for Winchester the next day, we can look for a date when the sun set before 7 p.m., which was the case on April 19 and the days preceding.
The closest date to April 25 that fits all these criteria and allows for a moonlit night two nights later would be April 26, with the telegram arriving two weeks later on May 10, and Holmes and Watson traveling to Winchester on May 11. However, since the sun set before 7 p.m. on April 19 and the days preceding, we must ensure that the date of the telegram and the subsequent trip to Winchester also aligns with this clue.
If we count back two weeks from May 10 (the day before the sun set before 7 p.m. on May 11), we get April 26 as the date of Violet Hunter's initial visit. This date is after April 19, allowing for a setting sun before 7 p.m. on the day of the trip to Winchester, and it is also after the period of no moon, allowing for a moonlit night two nights after her visit.
Therefore, the date of Violet Hunter's visit to Baker Street was April 26, 1890."
Eliezer notices that Mrs. Schächter doesn't seem affected by the optimism the other prisoners on the train feel when they hear what the two men who fetched water tell them. How does this contrast help to develop one of the key themes in Night?
In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, this contrast helps to develop one of the key themes of the story: deceit. The theme of deception is powerful in this story because it can be used to boost morale of the Jews, but it also made them more vunerable. To many on the train, Mrs. Schächter had lost her mind, but in reality, she was not deceived by the false sense of security.
Answer:
This contrast revealed that Mrs. Schachter becomes an impediment to the prisoners' attempts to remain hopeful.
Explanation:
While they were going in the car train Mrs. Schachter was not as positive and hopeful as the others on board, since she had seen in her vision flames of fire coming from a crematory and even when some people tough she had lost her mind other believed her, and later on their way they tragically saw that her words were not caused by madness, they were prophetic words or the horrors to live.

Explanation:
Read this passage from an essay called “When Chocolate was Medicine.” What valid conclusion could you make based on the passage?
In the seventeenth century, Europeans who had not traveled overseas tasted coffee, hot chocolate and tea for the very first time. For this brand new clientele, the brews of foreign beans and leaves carried within them the wonder and danger of far-away lands. They were classified at first not as food, but as drugs—pleasant-tasting, with recommended dosages prescribed by pharmacists and physicians, and dangerous when self-administered. As they warmed to the use and abuse of hot beverages, Europeans frequently experienced moral and physical confusion brought on by frothy pungency, unpredictable effects, and even (rumor had it) fatality. Madame de Sévigné, marquise and diarist of court life, famously cautioned her daughter about chocolate in a letter when its effects still inspired awe tinged with fear: “And what do we make of chocolate? Are you not afraid that it will burn your blood? Could it be that these miraculous effects mask some kind of inferno [in the body]?”
Coffee, chocolate, and tea were native to the Western Hemisphere.
Most people in Europe were used to the taste of coffee before they tasted tea.
Coffee, chocolate, and tea were not native to Europe.
Europeans did not approve of taking any drugs.
The answer is: Coffee, chocolate, and tea were not native to Europe.
In the passage from the essay called "When Chocolate was Medicine," the narrator describes how Europeans tasted tea, coffee and chocolate for the first time. Because these beverages were brought from overseas, they were an unknown pleasurable taste, so people were cautious and alert about their effects. As a consequence, at first they were just prescribed by pharmacists, as if they were drugs.
In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," what happens to the Mariner's ship right after the Albatross arrives?
In Coleridge’s poem the story is told by the Ancient mariner himself to an unwilling listener on his way to a wedding. During a voyage his ship was driven by a storm towards the South pole and caught in floating ice.
Suddenly an albatross arrived and the sailors hailed it as a sign of good luck, soon after the ice split, the wind blew and the ship, followed by the bird sailed north until the Mariner shot the albatross without a reason. The ship arrived to the Equator where the wind dropped.
The Mariner and the crew were immobile, the water supply ran out, they saw disgusting water snakes crawling on the surface of the sea. The sailor blamed the mariner and hung around his neck the body of the albatross to remind him of his evil deed. After that a skeleton of a ship arrived with Spectre- Woman and Life-in- Death as the only crew. Life- in-dead won the Mariner and then the Mariner’s shipmates died and so the mariner was left alone, trying to pray but he couldn’t.
So the dead bodies of his shipmates inhabited by angelic spirits began to work again and the ship moved to the Mariner’s native land. The Mariner was safe but he had a penance, actually he was condemned to wander through the world, relate his tale for all the eternity.
It is freed from the ice
Which is not an example of irony in “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin?
a)The doctors diagnose the death of Mrs. Mallard as “joy that kills.”
b)In the midst of Mrs. Mallard’s grief, she sees and hears the signs of spring.
c)When she sees her husband, Mrs. Mallard dies of heart failure.
d)Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping when she hears the news of her husband’s death.
The answer:
Option D) Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping when she hears the news of her husband’s death. It is said in teh story that it was a friend of her husband who brought the newsto her, shocked by the news she cried in her sister's arms. This actually happens in the story which makes it not irony
Incorrect answer A) The doctors diagnose the death of Mrs. Mallard as “joy that kills.” This presents an irony thought by using the expression "joy that kills" having the word joy a positive an jubilant meaning, it can not be compared to the word death in the first part of the sentence which is a negative word. Option A is a clear example of sarcastic writing.
Incorrect answer B) In the midst of Mrs. Mallard’s grief, she sees and hears the signs of spring. This is also a clear example of sarcastic writing, the keywords are grief and signs of spring, being in two totally opposite points, grief represents emotional pain, meanwhile, we can enlist sings of spring like blooming flowers, shiny and sunny days, and bright and energetic colors which we normally connect to happy feelings.
Incorrect answer C) When she sees her husband, Mrs. Mallard dies of heart failure It is an irony that after all the pain that she passed trough and being everybody so careful about how to deliver the news, it is the presence of herhusbad in the flesh tha one that kills her.
Answer: Option D.
Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping after she hears the news of her husband death.
Explanation:
Irony is the use of word to express something that is different from the actual or literal meaning. In the story of an Hour, the writer Kate Chopin, the writer used three different types of irony which are dramatic, situational and verbal.
From the story, Mrs. Mallard bursts out weeping when she hears the news of her husband's death is not an irony because it is not opposite from the literal meaning rather it is the meaning . It shows that she started crying after hearing the news of her husband's death.

How would a sociobiologist explain altruism? A. there are no altruists; everyone who does something for another expects some payoff B. opponent-process theory teaches that negativism converts to positive feelings C. society positively reinforces altruists D. there are inherited genes for such behavior
The best answer would be letter D There are inheririted genes for such behaviour sociobiologist explain altruism as a way of behave since very little ages. This sentence makes reference to natural selection , too . It is believed that in altruists groups evolution happens to all members of the group and that they behave it is affected by their genes. Darwin has explained this with animals that live in communities such as bees they pass al their lives taking care of the queen no matter what. so with that example we can eliminate answer A which mentions that everyone expects something . There is a theory that joins natural selection and altruism as a way of surviving more animals can produce more things and staying together would be safer so B would be incorrect because it does not convert into positive feeling and finally the letter c would not be the best because it mentions society and it would be incorrect to generalize different types of social groups .
The witness's voice was steady and firm as she averred, "That is the man I saw."
Based on the rest of this sentence, what is the best meaning of the word averred in this sentence?
A. Asked
B. Considered
C. Exclaimed
D.Stated
If we imagine ourselves in the scene in which the witness speaks with a firm and confident voice saying "that is the man I saw", the most probable thing is that it convinces us because she is very sure of herself, the witness does not doubt it for a moment, she/he is stating it.
The word averred can be replaced by stated since they have the same meaning. Other synonims can be claim, declare or affirm.

Perseverance and If both seem to share the theme of being strong at every moment of one´s life, being the master of one´s actions and believing that no matter what happens, either good or bad, once you understand what is happening , you will be able to continue your path and learn even more.
In If the theme is developed by giving a message as a piece of advice .The persona of the poem is talking to someone who is young and still has a lot to live and assimilate ; he is talking to a son.."Yours is the Earth and everything that´s in it..."you´ll be a Man, my son"..
In Perseverance the persona describes moments of failure, moments when all around you seems not to be going in the right direction.Nevertheless this person , who is a strong believer in God, finds strength and is able to go on..."When shadows seem to hover round, Lord, I may persevere.."
The similarity between the poems lies in the fact that they are very positive recommendations .Perseverance presents examples of complicated situations whereas If gives examples of both; favorable and unfaborable events. Even though neither of the poems uses the expression do not give up, it it is what they connote.
Define emotional appeal?
An emotional appeal is a method of persuasion that's designed to create an emotional response. Emotion (also known as pathos or suffering in Greek) is one of the three modes of persuasion identified by Aristotle. The other two are logos, or logic, and ethos, or authority.
Final answer:
Emotional appeal in rhetoric involves capturing attention and engaging with the feelings of the audience to persuade. It relies on common emotions and is effective if aligned with the audience's values and experiences. It's balanced between inciting emotion and respecting logic.
Explanation:
Emotional appeal is a rhetorical strategy that writers or speakers use to capture the audience's attention and engage their feelings to persuade them. It establishes a connection based on common motivations, values, or desires, and can invoke a range of emotions from fear to sympathy. For example, in persuasive speeches, evoking emotions such as pride or contentment might be more effective and productive compared to guilt or anger which can have mixed results.
While logic has traditionally been valued highly in arguments, contemporary rhetoricians recognize that emotions have a significant impact on decision-making. People can be irrational, especially when their emotions are intensely provoked, such as in scenarios involving betrayal or when something adorable triggers a strong emotional response. It is important to note that the success of an emotional appeal can be contingent upon the speaker's understanding of the audience's values and experiences, as well as their delivery skills.
Emotional appeals can sometimes be used to obscure logic, and if used inappropriately with language perceived as inflammatory, they might be considered unethical. Notably, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech exemplifies the power of appeal through emotional resonance, combining eloquent language with a stirring vocal delivery.
The most widely used renewable energy source is _____.
A.wind
B.hydropower
C.biomass
D.solar energy
The correct answer is option letter B (hydropower). According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), hydropower supplies almost 20% of the world’s energy. This kind of renewable energy is generated from hydroelectric dams and helps reduce carbon emissions, since it is a non-emitting source of energy. According to The House Committee on Natural Resources (Washington, D.C.), the high percentages of renewable energy generated by hydropower (75%) makes it “the leading renewable energy source of power”. Wind is the second most widely renewable source, followed by solar energy and biomass.
The most widely used renewable energy source is B. hydropower.
With the global hydroelectric installed capacity exceeding 1,000GW (gigawatts). And produce more than 65% of the global power generation capacity from renewable sources. The most common method of hydropower involves construction of dams on rivers and releasing water. Pumped-storage type plants represent another method of hydroelectricity generation. But not everything is positive with hydropower, some hydropower projects have become controversial during recent years due to the environmental and social impacts related to bio-diversity and human resettlement.
The following renewable anergy sources in order of production -from more to less- are wind, solar and biomass.
Should Dorian Gray still be read today? Or should Dorian Gray be a banned book from high school classrooms? Explain
Dorian Gray should absolutely be read today. Its themes of morality, narcissism and guilt are more relevant than ever. Youth has never been valued more highly: our society is one in which old age is almost always portrayed in a negative light, in which many products and services are sold with the goal of delaying or desguising the signs of age. There is no natural acceptance of the cycles of life, of old age as a worthwhile stage with its own particular pleasures. The only pleasures and virtues are those of youth: beauty, energy, impetuousness are valued while wisdom and serenity are not. Dorian Gray's story is the story of a man who sought to keep his youth and beauty at the cost of his morality. It's also the story of someone who could live life with no consequences: despite his crimes, his face preserved an angelical beauty, while his portrait paid the cost of his actions. Due to ever growing inequality, the rich nowadays can emulate Dorian Gray in more than one way, which makes his story all the more relevant.

Which central ideas are developed in chapters 3 and 4 of Animal Farm? Select TWO options.
-Horses are better workers than donkeys.
-Farmer Jones is not as intelligent as Napoleon.
-The pigs use language and propaganda as tools.
-Only the pigs are able to learn to read and write.
-The arts can motivate the farm animals.
-Horses are better workers than donkeys.
The horses were able to work so hard during the day on the farm, even the motto of one of them (Boxer) was "I will work harder", in change, donkeys did very slow its work and the didn't offer to work overtime.
-The pigs use language and propaganda as tools
The pigs that administrated the farm were so smart that they send the doves to anther farms with the purpose of extending the farm's slogan and convince the animals to join to the rebellion
The central ideas developed in chapters 3 and 4 of Animal Farm are: 1. The pigs use language and propaganda as tools. 2. Only the pigs are able to learn to read and write.
In chapters 3 and 4 of Animal Farm, George Orwell illustrates how the pigs, particularly Squealer, manipulate language and employ propaganda to maintain control over the other animals. Squealer revises the Commandments to justify the pigs' actions and convinces the animals that their sacrifices are for the greater good. This manipulation of language allows the pigs to consolidate their power and deceive the other animals, highlighting the theme of how those in authority can exploit communication to maintain their control.
These chapters emphasize the pigs' intellectual superiority over the other animals. The pigs are the only ones on the farm who learn to read and write, further solidifying their dominance. This inequality in education highlights the hierarchy and foreshadows the growing disparity between the ruling elite (the pigs) and the working class (the other animals) as the story unfolds.

In complete sentences compare and contrast the experience of reading and listening to a poem. Think of the questions what do I see when I read? what do I hear when I read? what do I see when I listen? What don't I see or hear?
Use an example from one of the poems: "The Cremation of Sam McGee" OR "Highwayman".
Reading a poem is definitely a multisensory exercise. There is a voice that creates an atmosphere to engage the reader or the listener. In the poem "Highwayman", The first four lines tell us who, where and when to contextualize both the reader and the listener. From these, we know that a Highwayman came riding at night, and the moon could be seen through a cloudy sky. It is worth asking ourselves when reading poetry what we can see. I would ask you to imagine the wind as a "torrent of darkness among the gusty trees". Not only can we see the images in a poem, but also use our senses. For example it is possible to think about the smell of the trees, hear the sound of the leaves moved by the wind, imagine what the rider might look like. Most poems are to be read out loud, as a reader one can listen to our own voice reading the poem. Listening to a poem can be really interesting. Poetry requires an approppriate tone of voice and fine intonation, as well as emphasis when the lines suggest it. Both reading and listening help us understand a poem better and enjoy poetry.

Which type of pronoun is italicized below? When lan proudly retrieved his Calculus 2 homework and saw that it was covered with glue and glitter, he was horrified His mind raced as he wondered who could be guilty of this sabotage. Suddenly, he knew. It could be nobody else but Melissa, his two year-old sister.
Answer:
if the word "nobody" is italicized, then it is an indefinite pronoun.
Explanation:
Indefinite pronouns do not refer to any person, amount, or thing in particular.
Examples of indefinite pronouns: All, some, any, several, anyone, nobody, each, both, few, either, none, one and no one
The italicized pronoun in the given sentence is 'nobody,' an indefinite pronoun. To prevent pronoun reference errors, the pronoun must clearly point to its antecedent. Attention must also be given to pronoun gender, matching third-person singular pronouns correctly with their references.
The italicized pronoun in the sentence is nobody. This pronoun is an indefinite pronoun, which is used to refer to a nonspecific person or thing. In the context of the sentence, 'It could be nobody else but Melissa, his two-year-old sister.', the pronoun 'nobody' is used before it's clarified that the only possible person could be Melissa. It's used to express the idea that no one except Melissa could be responsible for the act of covering the homework with glue and glitter.
In order to avoid pronoun reference errors, a pronoun must clearly refer to its antecedent. For example, in the corrected sentence 'When Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were battling with their light sabers, Luke became angry.', the revision removes the ambiguity of the pronoun 'he' by specifying that 'Luke' is the one who became angry.
It's also important to be attentive to pronoun gender, especially when dealing with third-person singular pronouns like 'he', 'she', and 'it'. In the provided sentences to be corrected, the sentence 'Neither excessive heat nor cold will damage the crop unless they last for weeks.' should be corrected to 'Neither excessive heat nor cold will damage the crop unless it lasts for weeks.' to appropriately match the singular subject 'the crop' with the singular pronoun 'it'.
From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris
Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences.
And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me.
If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like."
The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there.
I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.

4. Analyze the portrayal of wealth in the novel—the difference between “old money” and “new money” as well as the things that money can and cannot buy. What is Fitzgerald ultimately trying to say about money and materialism? What does Gatsby’s rise and fall say about the pursuit of wealth and status in the world of the novel?
Throughout his novel, “The Great Gatsby,” Scott Ella Edward Edward Fitzgerald examines the melodic theme of materialism and wealthiness to develop the clear idea that even though money can have a lot of value and make the great unwashed big businessman full, it is not a leading constituent towards happiness.
Wealth is the nitty-gritty of economic success and social acceptance throughout the report. All lineaments, both men and women, are eager to fill their lives with wealth to compass their ultimate end of satisfaction in a guild. However, as Fitzgerald demonstrates us in his Scripture, craving for money and power and achieving genuine and loving relationships in life story are equally futile.
The golden hat, representing power and wealth, is what gives people their condition and what attracts women the most. Such was the case with Daisy, whose hungriness for wealth made her marry Tom Buchanan rather than her true and authentic love: Gatsby.
Fitzgerald clearly depicts how materialism can corrupt even the most inexperienced person, making the characters live distorted and immoral lives due to their hunger for money. The solicitation of money is the basis of all trouble the characters confrontation.
Have an excellent 2019! :)
F. Scott Fitzgerald in "The Great Gatsby" examines the themes of wealth and materialism through the contrasting depictions of old money and new money, ultimately critiquing the corrupt American dream and the perilous pursuit of wealth and status.
The novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald explores themes of wealth, materialism, and the American dream. Fitzgerald contrasts "old money" and "new money" through his characters to highlight the differences in their values, backgrounds, and behaviors. Characters from old money, such as Tom and Daisy Buchanan, are portrayed as having a sense of entitlement and superiority, while new money characters like Jay Gatsby exhibit opulence and a desire to attain status. Fitzgerald suggests that money can buy access to certain lifestyles and social circles but cannot purchase genuine happiness or moral integrity.
Through Gatsby's rise and fall, Fitzgerald comments on the pursuit of wealth and status, suggesting that such pursuits are often rooted in illusion and can lead to disillusionment. Gatsby's love for Daisy is intertwined with his obsession with wealth and status, reflecting how the American dream can become corrupted by materialism. Ultimately, Fitzgerald seems to convey that the American dream, while alluring, is unattainable for many, and the relentless pursuit of it can lead to tragic consequences.
A very handsome young lady in the store offered me a pair of blue gloves. I did not want blue, but she said they would look very pretty on a hand like mine. The remark touched me tenderly. I glanced furtively at my hand, and somehow it did seem rather a comely member. I tried a glove on my left, and blushed a little. Manifestly the size was too small for me. But I felt gratified when she said: “Oh, it is just right!” yet I knew it was no such thing. I tugged at it diligently, but it was discouraging work. She said: “Ah! I see you are accustomed to wearing kid gloves while some gentlemen are so awkward about putting them on.” It was the last compliment I had expected. I only understand about putting on the buckskin article perfectly. I made another effort, and tore the glove from the base of the thumb into the palm of the hand, and tried to hide the tear. She kept up her compliments, and I kept up my determination to deserve them or die. “Ah, you have had experience!” (Yes, a rip down the back of the hand) “They are just right for you—your hand is very small—if they tear, you need not pay for them.” (There was a rent across the middle.) “I can always tell when a gentleman understands putting on kid gloves. There is a grace about it that only comes with long patience.” (Meanwhile, my efforts caused the whole afterguard of the glove to “fetch away,” as the sailors say, and then the fabric parted across the knuckles, and nothing was left but a melancholy ruin.) I was too much flattered to make an exposure and throw the merchandise on the angel’s hands. I was hot, vexed, confused, yet still happy, but I hated the other boys for taking such an absorbing interest in the proceedings. I wished they were in Jericho. I felt exquisitely mean when I said cheerfully: “This one does very well; it fits elegantly. I like a glove that fits. No, never mind, ma’am, never mind; I’ll put the other on in the street. It is warm here.” It was warm. It was the warmest place I ever was in. I paid the bill, and, as I passed out with a fascinating bow, I thought I detected a light in the woman’s eye that was gently ironical, and when I looked back from the street, and she was laughing to herself about something or other, I said to myself, with withering sarcasm: “Oh, certainly; you know how to put on kid gloves, don’t you?—a self-complacent heel, ready to be flattered out of your senses by every petticoat that chooses to take the trouble to do it!” And I tried to remember why I had entered the store in the first place, and if I shouldn’t return on the morrow to complete my initial mission. Read these lines from the excerpt again: It was the last compliment I had expected. I only understand about putting on the buckskin article perfectly. I made another effort, and tore the glove from the base of the thumb into the palm of the hand, and tried to hide the tear. She kept up her compliments, and I kept up my determination to deserve them or die. These lines from the story show that the shop girl is
A. embarrassed by the narrator

Even though there is not enough background to fully understand the scene, we can infer that the woman in this scene is a quite experienced sales attendant and that not only does she know how to sell, but also how to play with the male mind. She perfectly knows what to say to make a man do as she wishes or is best to suit her convenience.
It is quite interesting yet amusing to read how the man ignores he is making a fool of himself quite overtly and he continues to prove that the woman is right at encouraging him.
By reading the exchanges between the man and the young lady, one can easily infer that the woman is:
B. manipulating the narrator
