To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate the options one by one. After World War I, America experienced a period known as the Roaring Twenties, characterized by economic prosperity. Therefore, the correct answer is "prosperous."
2. With which of his character does F. Scott Fitzgerald have a good deal in common?
To answer this question, we need to have some knowledge about F. Scott Fitzgerald as the author and his characters. In this case, "Daisy" and "Gatsby" are both characters in Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby." However, the question asks which character Fitzgerald has a good deal in common, and therefore, the correct answer is "Gatsby."
3. What does supercilious mean?
To find the definition of "supercilious," we can refer to a dictionary or use our general knowledge. By elimination, we can remove "excessive" and "unmatchable" as they do not accurately define the term. "Supercilious" means behaving or looking as though one thinks they are superior to others, so the correct answer is "arrogant."

To answer this question, we need to refer to the source material, "The Great Gatsby." In this scene, Myrtle does insist on stopping the taxi, but she does so to purchase a dog. Therefore, the correct answer is "dog."
5. Which character actions in Chapter 2 of "The Great Gatsby" best exemplify the concept of the "cruel rich"?
To answer this question, we need to refer to Chapter 2 of "The Great Gatsby" and analyze the actions of the characters mentioned. In this case, "Myrtle," "Nick," and "Tom" are the options. Based on the events of Chapter 2, Tom's actions, such as his condescending attitude towards George Wilson and his affair with Myrtle, best exemplify the concept of the "cruel rich." Therefore, the correct answer is "Tom."
By following this process of elimination or using references, we can determine the correct answers to these questions.
