1. in this passage, how does nick’s reaction to being invited to the party reveal his feelings towards daisy and gatsby?

“he told me that he was phoning at daisy’s request - would i come to lunch at tomorrow? miss baker would be there. then daisy called me half an hour later happy that i had accepted her invitation. i was suspicious; surely they wouldn’t occasion for a scene?”
option 1: nick is unsure if the party is real or not.
option 2: nick wants to attend, but is worried about the consequences.
option 3: nick will only go to please daisy because he has a crush on her.
option 4: nick won’t go to the party because he does not want to get involved with daisy and gatsby’s drama.

Explanation:

From the passage, Nick is "suspicious" and thinks "surely they wouldn't... occasion for a scene?" after accepting Daisy's invitation. This shows he wants to attend (since he accepted) but is worried about the possible consequences (the scene). The other options don't fit: he's not unsure if the party is real, there's no mention of a crush, and he accepted the invitation so he will go.

Answer:

Nick wants to attend, but is worried about the consequences.
