Read the following excerpt from the last chapter of The Great Gatsby. Even when the East excited me most, even when I was most keenly aware of its superiority to the bored, sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which spared only the children and the very old-even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. Which statement most accurately analyzes the aesthetic impact of the excerpt? O A. By contrasting the East's liberalism with the Midwest's social conservatism, the author comments further on the theme of the shallowness of the wealthy. O B. By reinforcing the objectivity that Nick had in the opening pages of the novel, the author leaves the reader feeling satisfied with the novel's conclusion. O C. By showing Nick's detachment from the society of East Egg and West Egg, the author leaves the reader feeling hopeful that he will return home to Ohio. O D. By summing up the novel's theme of the emptiness of the American Dream, the author leaves the reader feeling Nick's sense of disappointment.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
