After reading Chapter 4 of the novel "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we can say that the flashback contributes to the meaning of the story in the following manner:
B. Gatsby reveals he is aware of the stories people tell about him.
D. Because some details are ridiculous, while others seem true, Gatsby remains a mystery.
<h3>What happens in Chapter 4 of "The Great Gatsby"?</h3>
- At the beginning of Chapter 4, Jay Gatsby picks the narrator Nick up to got to lunch with him. As he drives, Gatsby begins to talk to Nick and tell him about his life. Since Gatsby is a mysterious character, this revelation is most welcome.
- First, Gatsby reveals he is aware of the stories people tell about him, as we can see in the passage:
"'I don't want you to get a wrong idea of me from all these stories you hear.' So he was aware of the bizarre accusations that flavored conversation in his halls."
- Second, Gatsby's story is so poorly told, the details so carelessly included, that Nick can't help but laugh at their absurdity:
"... and I wondered if there wasn't something a little sinister about him, after all. [...] With an effort I managed to restrain my incredulous laughter."
- However, Gatsby produces some evidence - a war medal and a picture. Nick is now utterly confused. The story still sounds absurdly made up, but the evidence is right there, in his hands, which makes at least part of it seem true.
With the information above in mind, we can choose options B and D as the best ones.

Dear Diary,
I am unable to communicate with my father. No matter how much I try he does not understand me. He does not understand that the man I choose is good for me. I am truly frustrated at the fact that he does not comprehend me. I deeply desire that he mentally understood that my beloved Eddie is a good man, he’s from my same religion, and I love him with my whole heart. Also, Eddie loves me back. He truly appreciates me and consideres me his future bride, we even are studying the book “The secret to family happiness” and the Bible to guide us. We both want our marriage to be happy and without any problems, the reason behind this is because problems cause the relationship to break down little by little. Eddie loves me very much and I love him back, we hope to construct a family together and live together always through the good and bad times. Our desire is to grow old together and live in peace.
My father is opposed firmly to my relationship with Eddie because Eddie is from my same religion; we are both one of Jehovah Witnesses. Also, Eddie is not from my same country or city. He lives very far away from me. Another fact is that Eddie is much older than me. But, those things even though they seem like cons, I don’t mind them. Eddie and me love each other greatly. What my father does not understand is that Eddie and me are not infatuated, nor are we just physically attracted. We are both in love we one another. Eddie respects me, honors me and even cares for my well being. Eddie is the man I have prayed for my whole entire life. How could I leave such a fantastic person just because one person is infatuated with the idea of me leaving him? That won’t happen. Beforehand, I state that I am not infatuated. I’ve used my mind and intellect on Eddie to see if Eddie is the right person for me and after much consideration I found that Eddie is the right person for me.
My father has hidden my cellphone from me in several occasions so I won’t speak to my beloved. He’s used verbal attacks against me so would change my mind and leave my beloved Eddie. He even threatened to disown me. However, my stance was firm. No matter what, I’d stay loyal to Eddie.
