According to the online Oxford Dictionary, the word "acute" has two meanings in the medical field and two meanings in terms of mathematics:

  • In the medical field, it is an adjective that refers to 1. a disease or its symptoms severe but of short duration, so it is the opposite of <em>chronic</em>, and it is also used to refer to 2. something denoting or designed for patients with an acute form of a disease. Sentences:

1. An acute inflammation of a joint may be the result of an infection.

2. The hospital is overly crowded and we can not give treatment to acute patients.

  • In the mathematics field, <em>acute</em> is also an adjective that refers to 1. an angle that is less than 90°, or to 2. something that is pointed or that has a sharp end.

1. I hate math! I can not even draw well enough an acute angle.

2. Be careful with that spearhead, it has an acute point.

Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
anastassius [24]

He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Nick describes his place as "an eyesore". This detail shows us that the place he's renting is not nice in comparison to the other homes in West Egg. We also know that he must have some wealth in order to afford to pay eighty dollars a month during this time period. From this excerpt, there is no indication that Nick's choice to live in the small house is temporary or that he seems desperate to become part of the elite society. He may be impressed by material wealth because he describes the proximity of the millionaires as "consoling", so option A is also not a good choice.
