Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound. They were not perfect ovals—like the egg in the Columbus story, they are both crushed flat at the contact end—but their physical resemblance must be a source of perpetual confusion to the gulls that fly overhead. To the wingless a more arresting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size. I lived at West Egg, the—well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them.

The use of words such as “fashionable,” “superficial,” “bizarre,” and “sinister” provide

a truthful and vivid description of the West Egg and East Egg.

a sense of artificiality in the world the narrator finds himself in.

an idea of mischief that surrounds the narrator and his friends.

a meaningful portrayal of life on the Long Island Sound in the 1920s.

The best option is letter B. a sense of artificiality in the world the narrator finds himself in.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby", a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald, is narrated by Nick. As he gets involved with several shallow wealthy people, Nick seems to be the only one affected by the lack of truth and honesty in their splendid lives. Even though emotionally miserable, they seek comfort from their vices and crimes in parties, alcohol and affairs. Nick's description of the Eggs using words such as "superficial", "fashionable", "bizarre", and "sinister" conveys his real feelings toward the world he is now living in. Those same words can be used to describe the other characters - his cousin Daisy, her husband Tom, her friend Jordan, and the protagonist Gatsby. They all lead bizarre lives, drowned in lies and disappointments. But they try to hide their sinister feelings by living fashionably, by keeping their relationships superficial so that their true selves lying deep inside won't be brought to surface. The one who wasn't afraid to pursue his real emotions, Gatsby, ends up crushed by that world's cruelty.
