question 5 of 10
in what way has gatsby achieved the american dream?

a. he gives part of his fortune to charity.

b. he made a fortune on his own.

c. he inherited his fortune from his parents.

d. he has a fortune big enough to retire.

Explanation:

The American Dream often emphasizes self - made success, especially in terms of financial prosperity. Gatsby (from "The Great Gatsby") is known for amassing his wealth through his own efforts (though through some questionable means in the story), rather than inheriting it (ruling out C), and the story doesn't focus on him giving to charity (A) or retiring (D) as the core of his American Dream achievement. His self - made fortune aligns with the idea of the American Dream's emphasis on individual upward mobility through one's own work.

Answer:

B. He made a fortune on his own.
