Question

mid-term exam
the
great
gatsby
which claim does this textual evidence from
the great gatsby support?
nick feels lucky to be close with jordan, and out of his
depth with the rich and powerful.
nick feels unlucky to be stuck with jordan, and out of his
depth with the rich and powerful.
nick feels smothered around jordan, as she has such a
large personality.
for a while i lost sight of jordan baker, and then in midsummer i
found her again. at first i was flattered to go places with her, because
she was a golf champion, and everyone knew her name. then it was
something more. i wasnt actually in love, but i felt a sort of tender
curiosity. the bored haughty face that she turned to the world
concealed something-most affectations conceal something
eventually, even though they dont in the beginning-and one day i
found what it was. when we were on a house-party together up in
warwick, she left a borrowed car out in the rain with the top down.
and then lied about it-and suddenly i remembered the story about her
that had eluded me that night at daisys. at

Explanation:

The highlighted text "I was flattered to go places with her, because she was a golf champion, and everyone knew her name" shows Nick feels positively about being with Jordan, and the context of being around a well-known, wealthy figure implies he is in a space of the rich that feels outside his usual sphere. The other options frame his feelings negatively, which contradicts the text's tone.

Answer:

Nick feels lucky to be close with Jordan, and out of his depth with the rich and powerful.
