Explanation:

Causation: Gatsby lured Daisy.Plot: Gatsby is concerned about having Daisy lured, and afraid he could loose her love, calls off his parties, fires his servants to void  gossiping and replaces them with shady individuals connected to Meyer Wolfshiem. Causation: Nick visited Tom and Daisy´s for lunch.Plot: Nick finds Gatsby and Jordan Baker there, and meets Daisy’s baby girl, but Gatsby and Daisy cannot hide their love for one another, and Tom becomes certain of their feelings for each other.Causation: Looking for a confrontation.Plot: Tom suggests that they should all go to New York together. Nick, Tom, and Jordan learn that Wilson has discovered his wife’s infidelity—though not the identity of her lover—and plans to move her to the West. At the Plaza Hotel. Tom confronts with Gatsby asking him about his intentions for Daisy, and Gatsby replies that Daisy loves him, not Tom.Causing: Confrontation consequences.Plot:  Tom claims that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could not possibly understand.  Daisy, in love with Gatsby earlier in the afternoon, feels herself moving closer and closer to Tom as she observes the quarrel. Realizing he has bested Gatsby, Tom sends Daisy back to Long Island with Gatsby to prove Gatsby’s inability to hurt him. Driving back to Long Island, Nick, Tom, and Jordan discover a frightening scene on the border of the valley of ashes.  Tom thinks that Wilson will remember the yellow car from that afternoon. He also assumes that Gatsby was the driver.  Back at Tom’s house, Nick waits outside and finds Gatsby hiding in the bushes. Gatsby says that he has been waiting there in order to make sure that Tom did not hurt Daisy. He tells Nick that Daisy was driving when the car struck Myrtle, but that he himself will take the blame. Still worried about Daisy, Gatsby sends Nick to check on her. Nick finds Tom and Daisy eating cold fried chicken and talking. They have reconciled their differences, and Nick leaves Gatsby standing alone in the moonlight.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
