After reading Chapter 4 of the novel "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we can say that the flashback contributes to the meaning of the story in the following manner:
B. Gatsby reveals he is aware of the stories people tell about him.
D. Because some details are ridiculous, while others seem true, Gatsby remains a mystery.
<h3>What happens in Chapter 4 of "The Great Gatsby"?</h3>
- At the beginning of Chapter 4, Jay Gatsby picks the narrator Nick up to got to lunch with him. As he drives, Gatsby begins to talk to Nick and tell him about his life. Since Gatsby is a mysterious character, this revelation is most welcome.
- First, Gatsby reveals he is aware of the stories people tell about him, as we can see in the passage:
"'I don't want you to get a wrong idea of me from all these stories you hear.' So he was aware of the bizarre accusations that flavored conversation in his halls."
- Second, Gatsby's story is so poorly told, the details so carelessly included, that Nick can't help but laugh at their absurdity:
"... and I wondered if there wasn't something a little sinister about him, after all. [...] With an effort I managed to restrain my incredulous laughter."
- However, Gatsby produces some evidence - a war medal and a picture. Nick is now utterly confused. The story still sounds absurdly made up, but the evidence is right there, in his hands, which makes at least part of it seem true.
With the information above in mind, we can choose options B and D as the best ones.
