When I walked to the plate with the bases loaded, I knew the entire team was counting on me to come through. I took the first pi

tch for a called strike, then fouled off the next five pitches. With the count 0-2, I took a couple pitches well out of the strike zone, evening the count. The 2-2 pitch was a breaking ball, and I crushed it hard into the gap in left-center field, scoring two runs and winning the game for us!
If the writer wished to add a sentence between the first and second sentence of the passage in order to clarify the sequence and build tension, which of these choices would be most appropriate?
A) I knew the pitcher, but not very well.
B) This was my favorite game of all time.
C) My father later told me how proud he felt of me at this moment.
D) I could hear the fans roaring, and I knew everyone in the dugout sat with their rally caps in place and their fingers crossed.

What does this excerpt reveal about Nick? He is not particularly impressed by material wealth and fashionable appearances. He pl
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his unfulfilled dreams of trying to win back his former love which is the main and only purpose of his life. The story also deals with the theme of an American dream, the various obstacles that one encounters in life, and the evident social status that one maintains or tries to maintain to be "agreeable" for others.

In the given excerpt from the text, Nick, our narrator, describes his home. He agrees that his house at West Egg <em>"is an eyesore but it was a small eyesore"</em>. This seems to suggest that it was an eyesore for those living in East Egg but not that much as compared to the other houses in West Egg. This shows that <u>he is wealthy enough to live in a much better house than the others but at the same time, not wealthy enough to be able to reside in the "upper-class" East Egg side. </u>
