question 9 of 10
which part of the american dream is challenged in the great gatsby?

a. anyone can succeed with hard work.

b. wealth leads to happiness.

c. no one can be rich and moral.

d. inheriting property is a privilege.

Explanation:

In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby works hard to amass wealth, yet his efforts to achieve the American Dream (success through hard work) are ultimately thwarted by social barriers and the hollow nature of the upper class. The novel critiques the idea that hard work alone guarantees success, challenging this core tenet of the American Dream. Options B, C, and D do not align as closely with the novel’s challenge to the American Dream’s promise of upward mobility via hard work.

Answer:

A. Anyone can succeed with hard work.
