This question refers to the book <em>The Great Gatsby</em>.
Nick is one of the main characters in this story, and he is also the narrator. We learn that Nick moved east from the Midwest in order to try his luck in New York. He wanted to become involved in the financial boom that was taking place during the 1920s.
Nick is initially impressed by the life of luxury and glamour that he witnesses in the city. This is particularly true in the case of his relative Daisy, and her acquaintances. However, as he becomes more involved with this society, he begins to see that people are actually quite superficial and false, and that their hedonism prevents them from forming any meaningful connection to anything and anyone. He is proven right many times in the story, such as when we learn about the superficiality of Daisy's attachment to Gatsby or the lack of concern that she shows for her daughter.
I think you just used it there bud. :)

I would disagree. To read would be considered an infinitive. The reason why I think the answer is infinitive is because, I know in Spanish, which is similar to English, to do something ( to read) it was always considered an infinitive. It's an action verb. It's not d because there are no other words following the to read. Hopefully this makes more sense.
