Question

Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month.

Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there.

The contrast created between East Egg and West Egg suggests that:

A. the main character feels comfortable in all social situations.

B. Nick will experience a series of financial pitfalls as the story unfolds.

C. the story’s conflict will be based on wealth and appearances.

D. the story will be presented from a number of differing perspectives.

Answer 1

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because A not all the main characters feel comfortable in certain situations, B. Nick doesn't really experience any pitfalls since he was just the narrator and D. The only perspective in which the story is told is from Nick's perspective. C is the right answer because most of the conflicts were based off wealth and the way characters were presented.
