Examine the following passage from the great gatsby and use it to answer the question.
“i lived at west egg, the – well, the least fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. my house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season. the one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard … my own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so i had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month.”

how does the author use the description of the setting in this passage to reveal details about the narrator?

question 1 options:

the setting reveals that he is excessively wealthy, and he does not care for those who are not.

the setting reveals that he is not an excessively wealthy man himself, but he lives surrounded by wealthy people.

the setting suggests that is unhappy about the state of his home, and dwells on his unhappiness.

the setting depicts that he is uncomfortable with his neighbors’ houses being so near his.

The setting reveals that he is not an excessively wealthy man himself, but he lives surrounded by wealthy people

The setting reveals that he is not an excessively wealthy man himself, but he lives surrounded by wealthy people. This is the correct option.

The narrator, Nick Carraway, seems not to be extremely wealthy because he rented a small house. Besides. this house was not really beautiful-  a small eyesore- . He lived next to millionaires.

These options are not right:

-The setting reveals that he is excessively wealthy, and he does not care for those who are not.  The narrator is ,in fact, wealthy and  he does not give any  emotional opinion about other people's wealth; he just describes the place where he lives.

-The setting suggests that is unhappy about the state of his home, and dwells on his unhappiness. The narrator does not sound happy or sad; he just describes the place where he lives. His house is a small and not beautiful house between wealthy houses.

-The setting depicts that he is uncomfortable with his neighbors’ houses being so near his. The narrator describes the place. He does not make a point of being so close to his neighbours.

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !

i think it may be b, i'm not exactly too sure on this. but b seems to make more sense.
