When they are riding together to New York, Gatsby says “something about my life”, he then proceeds to tell Nick about his very rich mix-western family background and “a family tradition” of his Oxford education. Gatsby also tells him how when his entire family died, he inherited lots of money which allowed him to travel all around Europe where he collected many jewels, painted, and tried to escape a sad memory.

Answer:
C. crashed
Explanation:
Each word has two types of meaning:
- Denotation - its literal meaning;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association it carries.
Words <em>dinner, invited, </em>and<em> turkey</em> are used in their primary, literal meaning. The only word that is used somewhat figuratively is <em>crashed</em>. The primary meaning of the verb<em> to crash</em> is <em>to break or fall to pieces with noise</em> or <em>to collide, especially violently and noisily </em>(when we talk about moving vehicles, objects, etc.). Here, it means <em>to go somewhere you are not invited</em>. It's not a positive concept. That's why option C is the correct one.
