<u>Answer</u>:
Gatsby's attitude toward the forward march of time is that he rejects it, fully believing that it is possible to re-capture the past.
So, the right option is Option D.
<u>Explanation</u>:
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” Gatsby is under the wrong impression that he can manipulate time. This is clear when Nick who thinks that times progression can be reversed tries to make him understand but he rejects it as he believes in the scenario that existed between him and Daisy five years before when he had left for war.
Jay Gatz always dreamt of reuniting with Daisy Fay of Louisville, Kentucky. That’s the reason why he wove a lie of being a wealthy person. He purchased a mansion in West Egg to gaze at the green light at the end of Daisy Buchanan's pier. He throws lavish parties hoping that Daisy Buchanan would show up.
After five years he gets the opportunity to meet his former girlfriend through Nick Carraway at his cottage but nervousness takes him over. He accidentally knocks a clock off the mantle, catches it "with trembling fingers" and replaces it. He puts in all his effort to get Daisy back but all the portrayal of wealth doesn’t erase Jay Gatsby’s fear of time and the thought of not being able to recapture the past. His fruitless actions to regain what young Daisy once was for him comes to a crashing end like that of all tragic heroes.

Answer:
B.
Explanation:
'A Good Man Is Hard To Find' is a short story written by Flannery O’Connor. The story centers on the themes of grace, Christian beliefs, moral conduct, etc. These themes are represented in the story with the tone of humor and irony, by the author.
In the story, in paragraph 18, the author followed the line <em>'People did right then' </em>with <em>' "Oh look at the cute little pickaninny!" </em>was to reveal the grandmother's hypocrisy. Using the derogatory term <em>'pickaninny' </em>grandmother tried to portray the young black child to nothing. These lines also suggests how she glorified the past of South when blacks were treated like nothing and confer it as a <em>'right thing that people did back then.'</em>
Thus, these lines are used by author to portray hypocrisy of the grandmother. Therefore, option B is correct.
