Lodge, the closest meaning to the word "indelibly" is the corresponding to option C: permanently, because it is comparing it to the footprint of some extinct beast upon a piece of stone (which is permanent).

When Gatsby declares that Daisy "never loved" Tom and asks Daisy to tell Tom this, Daisy answers indirectly and then later says
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Daisy at first answered indirectly and then admitted with reluctance which shows her indecisive nature and the dilemma she was put in between Jay and Tom. Also, she had loved both men and didn't seem to want to lose either one.

Jay Gatsby's need to hear the words from Daisy's mouth shows his need of validation and support from the very person he was referring to, who was 'supposedly' with him.

Explanation:

In Chapter 7 of the text "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald shows the scene where Tom, Daisy, Jay, Nick and Jordan were in the room above the ballroom. This scene reveals the conflict between the couple, Jay's wants f reassurance and Daisy's confusing nature.

When Jay asked Daisy to tell her husband Tom that she never really loved him, she indirectly said it, "<em>Why,—how could I love  him—possibly?" </em>and then with<em> "perceptible reluctance"</em> said <em>"I never loved him</em>". This reluctance on daisy's part shows the inconclusive nature of her choice, her inability to make up her mind and her indecisiveness in what she wants.

On the other hand, Gatsby kept on stating the fact that she doesn't love Tom and telling her to say it out loud shows his need of assurance and validation from Daisy. Even he seemed to know of Daisy's dilemma in choosing her side, and also it shows his need to be wanted and loved by the very girl who had left him.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Part A. Noel seems like an annoyed character. He seemed happy that James stopped talking.

Part B. for Part B, I would say that the text in E would support saying that he was annoyed. (" The boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim". That shows that he was starting to get annoyed.) And lastly I think that H would also agree that he was annoyed because he seemed to start going on about why this puppy might be here.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is said to be a novel of its time, meaning that it reflects the values and issues of
Lilit [14]
This statement is correct because the novel accurately and vividly depicts the gap between Victorian moral ideals and their absolute subversion and degradation. When deformed and hideous Mr. Hyde knocks down a little girl in the passage, it is almost a metaphor for his knocking down everything that is sacred and valued within his society - and the girl herself is a symbol of innocence. A couple of months later, he beats a man to death, displaying his urge for violence. But the most disturbing fact is that he is the same person as Dr. Jekyll, a well respected and decent man of high standing in his society, who can't bear to give up on his evil alter-ego. It depicts the fact that the more the society tries to restrain our dark urges, the stronger and more irresistible they become.
