Answer:
The dialogue is between two friends. One tells a fearful story but the other one thinks he is joking.
<em />
<em>The car is parked outside the gas station with Doe waiting in the car for John who went to use the convenience inside the gas stations' store. John panting runs out of the restroom panting, nearly out of breath then practically jumps into the car which has an open roof. </em>
<em />
<em>John</em><em>: Guess what Doe</em>
<em>Doe:</em><em> What?</em>
<em>John:</em><em> I just saw a rabbit with horns and the eyes of a cat in the restroom</em>
<em>Doe: </em><em>Hahahahahahahahah! Oh, Johnny John! There you go again. I won't fall for it this time.</em>
<em>You uncanny, crooked crook. Hahahahaha. Just yesterday you told me how it is that your mum saw the pizza she ordered winking at her in a weird way. Naaaaa! </em>
<em>To say you've got a hyperactive imagination is an underestimation of your capabilities.</em>
<em />
<em>Doe who was at the steering wheel all the time with the push of a button brings the 2020 BMW convertible to life and speeds off, away from the gas station nearly missing the station's signpost (as he swerved into the expressway) which was illuminated with lights arranged into words that said: "Welcome to Wisconsin".</em>
<em>Just less than a pole from the gas station, Doe (still laughing at his friend who is still in shock) instinctively looks into the rearview mirror and notices there is no sign of a Gas station. He stops laughing and a sudden chill settles on him. That chill was from the evening's cool breeze. </em>

Answer:
What this passage tells us about Nick is:
C. He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.
Explanation:
Nick is impressionable enough to call his own house an eyesore and to think of the proximity of millionaires as "consoling". Therefore, we can eliminate option A. Option B is also wrong because there is nothing in the passage to reveal his desire to move to a different house. He likes it where he lives. Finally, option D speaks of desperation to become part of the elite, but Nick does not reveal that feeling at all. He is used to the company of wealthy people - perhaps not millionaires, but wealthy nonetheless.
<u>We are left with option C. Nick comes from a well-off family. He does have some means, and he can afford to live in West Egg. However, he is not so rich as to rent a mansion. He takes a smaller house, one that has been overlooked, whose rent is affordable and that offers the perks of living in a great neighborhood.</u>
