Answer 1

The correct answer would be " D.) The American Dream is empty and superficial "

Answer 2

Answer: D. The American Dream is empty and superficial.

Fitzgerald's writing is often seen as a veiled critique of the American Dream. The author writes about the 1920s, which was a period of extreme affluence in the country. There were many success stories during the time, and the country experienced enormous economic growth. This all resembled the promise of the American Dream. The author, however, often describes how this luxury and excess was superficial and empty.
