In the passage of Fitzgerald's "The great Gatsby", the reader can infer that the story conflict will be based on wealth and appearances, because of the contrast between the narrator's house, an "eyesore", and that of his neighbors, "white palaces".
It is illogical because it relies on faulty reasoning
The way I'd change it would be :
'Great White Sharks are quite fascinating creatures if you research the history that goes along with them. Their records are very ancient and they are one of the longest existing species to live on this earth today!'
It's a bit on the scientific side, but I hope I helped even a little.
Answer:
The claim that the excerpt most clearly supports seems to be:
D. Without humanity's presence, New York City would quickly deteriorate.
Explanation:
This excerpt taken from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us" discusses how the human presence keep New York from becoming a disastrous chaos. As the author explains, without power and people to pump the water out, the subway systems of New York would be completely flooded. If it rains, it would only take some hours for it to be underwater; if it doesn't, just a couple of days. The author is showing readers that the city only functions because of the people who work to ensure it. If humans were to disappear, it wouldn't be long before the world became wild and nature claimed everything man has ever built.
