Explanation:

1. Elements of exposition: The text introduces the main character Nick, his background, and the core setting of New York/Eggs, which is expository.
2. The role of characters in developing the plot: It establishes Nick, Daisy, and Tom, and notes Tom's affair as a plot-driving character detail.
3. The role of setting in developing the plot: It highlights the East/West Egg divide and its link to cultural conflict that fuels the story.
4. Summarizing rather than retelling: It condenses chapter 1's key plot and context without a scene-by-scene retelling.
5. An analysis of relationships between events is not included, as the text does not analyze causal connections between plot points, only states them.

Answer:

• Elements of exposition
• The role of characters in developing the plot
