I have been scientifically studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so-called), and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. For it obliges me to renounce my allegiance to the Darwinian<span>theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that the theory ought to be vacated in favor of a new and truer one, this new and truer one to be named the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.</span>

Answer:
Mr. and Mrs. Sloane and Tom leave. They do not wait for Gatsby.
Explanation:
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) in which he explores themes such as the depravity of society and the decadence of the American dream.
The narrator is Nick, Gatsby's neighbor. Nick is cousin to Daisy, Gatsby's love interest. Daisy is married to millionaire Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful and brute man. Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are just minor characters who, like Tom and Daisy, are wealthy and shallow.
At a certain point in the story, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane are riding their horses when they stop by Gatsby's house to have a drink of water. Gatsby, unlike them, is new money. He does not come from a wealthy, traditional family. Thus, he is desperate to be accepted by the old money society. <u>When Mrs. Sloane, out of politeness, invites Gatsby to dine with them, Gatsby accepts the invitation without realizing it was not serious. While he goes inside his house for a moment, Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Sloane leave. They do not wait for him to come with them. It is interesting that they find Gatsby's acceptance of the invitation to be rude, but do not care when they are rude to him themselves.</u>
