Based on this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," what is the meaning of the word priggish? He stayed late at th

e dance. He sat for an hour with Irene Scheerer and talked about books and about music. He knew very little about either. But he was beginning to be master of his own time now, and he had a rather priggish notion that he—the young and already fabulously successful Dexter Green—should know more about such things.
benign
successful
obnoxious
definitive

<span>Based on thу excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," represented above, I think that the third option from the attached scale clearly shows the meaning of the word priggish. I am pretty sure that obnoxious is the most suitable word to explain the meaning of the whole phrase, but if you are not so sure, check it in dictionary. Do hope it will help you in your homework.</span></span>
