Answer and Explanation:
In "The Great Gatsby", a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald, telephones and cars are as important for the development of the plot as the characters themselves.
When it comes to telephones, it is through them that mysteries are either created or unveiled. Right from the start of the novel, Tom's lover calls him at home in the middle of dinner. That causes a fight between Tom and Daisy and leads Nick, the narrator, to learn of Tom's infidelity. Gatsby is also constantly being told there is someone on the phone for him, however the revelation concerning his calls comes later on in the plot. It turns out that Gatsby is a criminal, and the phone calls are from his partners and cronies. If it weren't for his crimes, Gatsby wouldn't be rich enough to pursue Daisy. Without Tom's infidelities, Daisy might have never cheated on him with her old boyfriend Gatsby. Telephones, therefore, help things take their course in the novel.
The same goes for cars. The characters are constantly driving and being driven. Their cars represent their power, wealth, and desires. The first time Daisy meets up with Gatsby at Nick's house, she is driven in the rain. When Tom pays a visit to his lover, he uses his car as an excuse to talk to her husband. Whenever any of them, Tom or Gatsby, wants to go to the city to do their shady businesses - money related or not -, they take their cars. Finally, Tom's lover is run over and killed by Daisy when she is driving back from the city, uneasy and pressured by Tom and Gatsby. This tragedy leads to the final tragedy, which is Gatsby's own death. Cars, as well as telephones, are crucial for conflicts to develop in the story.
The correct answer is A. Post hoc ergo propter hoc
Explanation:
In a Post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy the speaker considers one event is the cause of another because one event follows the other in time. This implies the speaker incorrectly assumes one event to be the cause of another without real evidence. This occurs in the example presented because the speaker thinks Jalessa being a President is the cause that the school was broken into. However, there is no evidence Jalessa is the direct cause of this event and this cannot be concluded based on the fact the incident occurred after Jalessa became the class president.

<u>Answer</u>:
The effect of Clara's orders to Sylvester and Jack in the excerpt is D: The men are tired of hearing Clara's complaints but remain by the fire to stay warm.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Gumption” by “Langston Hughes” is a story about Sylvester and Clara who had insecurity and disbelief. “Gumption” means ability to decide what is the best action to be taken in a given situation.
Clara feels that Sylvester should try to follow Oyster and work towards equality. But Sylvester thinks that he couldn’t protest as he was already very poor and would be risking his home in case he protests. According to him Oyster’s actions are excessive. He thinks “one cannot live on gumption” i.e: being full of courage and guts all the time with common sense.
Here, by this excerpt, both are tired after hearing her complaints about their actions which wants them to leave that place. But they couldn't because it was so cold outside and they need to stay warm to survive.
