Explanation:

These points align with the textual details from The Great Gatsby: East Egg represents old money, with homes built in authentic historic styles, while West Egg (new money) has homes that copy those older styles. The narrator also uses contrasting light/dark imagery to frame the two areas, with East Egg presented as bright and established, West Egg as darker and less polished. The other options are incorrect: East Egg homes (old money) are the finely built ones, West Egg homes are the imitative, less durable ones; West Egg homes are not more contemporary/fashionable; and East Egg properties have larger, more elaborate grounds.

• West Egg homes imitate old styles, while East Egg homes were made when those styles were first designed.
