Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby. It was a matter of chance that I should have rented a house in one of the strangest communities in North America. It was on that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York—and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land. Based on the author’s description of Long Island, the reader can infer that this novel will... 1. relate events about unconventional individuals.
2. relate events that occur directly within the city of New York.
3. relate events that are supernatural and terrifying in nature.
4. relate events having to do with highly privileged individuals.

In my opinion, you could argue for a combination of these answers, but the most suited answer is probably 1.

Explanation:

- If you have already read the full novel, you know that 4 is true, but this excerpt does not reference wealth or social status in anyway, so you can cross number 4 out.

- 3 seems to be obviously incorrect even if you have never even picked up this book. despite the excerpt stating that it is "a strange community", there is no reference whatsoever to supernatural beings

- 2 can technically be inferred, but just because New York has been introduced so far, doesn't necessarily mean that ll the events will take place there.

So, 1 is probably the "most" correct answer, as the excerpt directly states "strangest communities", suggesting that it will involve some unconventional characters.
