Answer:

"He pretended to be able to take care of her, but he couldn't"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine each statement to determine which one is not something that Gatsby told Nick:

A. Daisy wanted him to come home, and she was feeling pressured to get married.

Gatsby does mention that Daisy wanted him to come home and that she was feeling pressured to get married. This statement aligns with what Gatsby tells Nick about his past.

B. He says he met Daisy when he was stationed at Camp Taylor and fell in love with her and that she loved him too.

Gatsby does mention that he met Daisy when he was stationed at Camp Taylor and fell in love with her, and he believes that she loved him too. This statement aligns with what Gatsby tells Nick about his past.

C. After the war, he frantically tried to get back to Louisville, but he was sent to Oxford instead.

Gatsby does mention that after the war, he desperately tried to return to Louisville, where Daisy lived. However, he was sent to Oxford instead. This statement aligns with what Gatsby tells Nick about his past.

D. He wanted to finish his degree at Oxford before marrying Daisy.

Gatsby does not mention anything about wanting to finish his degree at Oxford before marrying Daisy. This statement is not something that Gatsby told Nick about his past.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. He wanted to finish his degree at Oxford before marrying Daisy.

Hope this helps!
