Question

Explain nicks engagement

Answer 1

Nick was supposedly engaged before coming to New York;

Daisy says, “We heard that you were engaged” (19). Nick’s response is typically elliptical, after which he tells the reader:

Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors,and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage."(19)

hope this helped :)
