Explanation:

1. For the phrases describing Gatsby's party: These are taken from the core text of The Great Gatsby (not the right-side extract), referencing the lavish, chaotic details of his gatherings.
2. For the behavior comparison: Gatsby's party guests act in loud, unruly, over-the-top ways, mirroring the chaotic energy of an amusement park.
3. For the descriptive word: Gatsby's parties are defined by extreme luxury, endless food/drinks, and large crowds, making "excessive" the best fit.
4. For the party comparison: Both parties have indulgence, but Tom's is smaller, more crass, and in a seedy space, while Gatsby's is grand, glamorous, and performative.

Gatsby's parties feature unlimited luxury, huge crowds, non-stop entertainment, and no restraint, all hallmarks of excess.

1. Comparison to Tom's Chapter 2 party:

• Similarity: Both parties involve heavy drinking, casual socializing, and displays of wealth.
• Difference: Tom's party is small, cramped, and takes place in a seedy apartment in New York City, with a tense, aggressive undercurrent; Gatsby's party is grand, held in a sprawling mansion, and has a glamorous, festive (yet superficial) atmosphere.
