Question

question 8 of 10
which statement about the american dream would f. scott fitzgerald most likely agree with?

a. the american dream is meaningless in the long run.

b. the american dream is actually european in character.

c. the american dream is unsustainable for the majority.

d. the american dream is for everyone, not just the elite.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's works (e.g., The Great Gatsby) critique the American Dream, showing its unattainability for most. His portrayal of wealth, class, and social mobility highlights that the dream's promise of success is out of reach for the majority due to systemic and social barriers, aligning with option C. Option A is too nihilistic (Fitzgerald's critique is about attainability, not meaninglessness), B misinterprets the dream's origin, and D contradicts his depiction of the dream being limited by class/wealth.

Answer:

C. The American Dream is unsustainable for the majority.
