Question

Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. he and Daisy are not a happily married couple.

Explanation:

It is obvious from the beginning of the novel that Daisy and Tom are not in love with each other - they are together out of convenience. Daisy still somewhat loves Gatsby and Tom has a mistress. The phone calls he receives during the dinner are from his lover, Myrtle. The author used her to show how empty and vain the characters, especially Tom and Daisy, are in this novel.
