In the great gatsby, which of these best explains why daisy represents a paradox?
a. she is wealthy and upper class, but she is very unhappy.
b. she grew up poor, but her husband gave her everything.
c. she longs for the american dream, but she has no skills.
d. she hoped to have a son, but she had a daughter.

A. She is wealthy and upper class, but she is very unhappy.

Explanation: A paradox is statement or proposition which, despite sound reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems logically unacceptable or self-contradictory. In "The Great Gatsby" by  F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character of Daisy represents a paradox, because she is wealthy and upper class (which one can think should make her happy) but she is very unhappy (which seems contradictory). So the correct answer is option A.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
