This question is about "The great Gatsby"

Answer:

Based on Nick's comments, the reader can infer that Jordan Baker is bold, haughty, beautiful and elegant, but exhibits a certain fragility, almost submerged in all his posture.

Explanation:

When Nick first observes Jordam in chapter 1 of the book he comments that “she was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless, and with her chin raised a little, as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall. ”

This creates an image of Jordan in the reader's mind as a beautiful, elegant, attractive and haughty woman, but her behavior shows that she is a rebel and does not follow the social norms established for women. In addition, the comment about her not being able to keep an imaginary object on her chin emits that she has a certain fragility, but that fragility is hidden in the monumental posture she presents.
