Question

it was dark now, and as we dipped under a little bridge i put my arm around jordans golden shoulder and drew her toward me and asked her to dinner. suddenly i wasnt thinking of daisy and gatsby any more, but of this clean, hard, limited person, who dealt in universal scepticism, and who leaned back jauntily just within the circle of my arm. a phrase began to beat in my ears with a sort of heady excitement: there are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired. \and daisy ought to have something in her life,\ murmured jordan to me. \does she want to see gatsby?\ \shes not to know about it. gatsby doesnt want her to know. youre just supposed to invite her to tea.\ adapted from f. scott fitzgerald, the great gatsby based on jordans explanation, what is the most likely reason why gatsby chose to buy a mansion in suburban new york and host extravagant parties there? gatsby hopes daisy will notice him and be impressed. gatsby aims to solidify his reputation among new yorks social elite. gatsby expects that he could entice daisy to move to new york. gatsby wants to make daisy jealous by marrying someone richer than she is.

Explanation:

In The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is deeply in love with Daisy. Buying a mansion and hosting grand - scale parties is a way for him to attract Daisy's attention and show his wealth and status to impress her. There is no indication in the text about solidifying his reputation among social elite as the main reason, nor about enticing Daisy to move to New York or making her jealous by marrying someone richer.

Answer:

Gatsby hopes Daisy will notice him and be impressed.
