Chapter one of The Great Gatsby introduces the narrator, Nick Carraway, and establishes the context and setting of the novel. Nick begins by explaining his own situation. He has moved from the Midwest to West Egg, a town on Long Island, NY. The novel is set in the years following WWI, and begins in 1922. Nick served in the army in WWI, and now that he is home has decided to move east and try to become a bond trader on Wall Street. Nick is a graduate of Yale, and grew up in a wealthy family. He is what is considered "old rich," and feels he is superior to those who have recently earned great fortunes, the "new rich."
Hope this helps :)

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

When the sentence is already clear.

It sounds awkward to split the infinitive.

Too much information is inserted between the two parts of the infinitive.

Explanation:

Splitting an infinitive means to put words in between an infinitive. This grammatical construction occurs when a word is put in between the particle "to" and a verb.

Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive as much as possible. This is because it may sound awkward in splitting the infinitive. It can also lead to the inclusion of too much unnecessary information in the sentence. Moreover, it is unnecessary to split infinitives when the sentence is already clear.

Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and fifth options.
