"The great Gatsby" contains many symbols open to the interpretation of those who are reading the book and relating them to the themes presented in the story. One of these symbols is Dr. Eckleberg’s eyes, which are painted on a billboard facing the Valley of the Ashes (a dangerous, demoralized, ugly place resulting from the greed of the rich).
These eyes can represent the eyes of God, judging the greed, pride and dehumanization of American society that is always in search of wealth and goods, even if it implies the destruction of other people and the sadness of many.
This meaning is related to the "American dream" that is portrayed as one of the themes of this book. Thus, the billboard sends the message of how the American dream can be empty and disadvantageous in some situations.

Answer:
He meant that painting murals of the rapper was their own way of honoring him and showing their respects.
Explanation:
In the article Street art of Nipsey Hussle in LA Breathes Life into Legacy the author mentioned the ways different people were grieving and making memorials for the dead rapper Nipsey Hussle, he mentioned that while the rapper's colleagues were using words to praise him, for others like Levi Ponce "paint was how they paid homage".
To pay homage means to express deep respect or to honor somebody or something.
So, the author just meant to say that painting was their (Ponce and others) way of honoring Nipsey Hussle, that is by painting murals and street art in his memory.
The answer should be "delighted". Offended and disappointed would be negative, and satisfied is only slightly positive.
“i set unrealistic goals for myself” he says
