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 :)

The answer would be metaphor.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.
Here are the basics:
<span><span>
A metaphor states that one thing is another thing</span>It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism<span>.
If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?)
</span><span>Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language.
Hoped I helped!
