Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.

Poems that do not follow specific rules are called:
Ne4ueva [31]
The correct answer is free verse (choice C), in which you do not follow any particular rules about rhythm or rhyme. On the other hand, iambic, fixed, and syllable verses follow a certain rhythm, to make the poem look more uniform. Free verse is not restricted in such a way, and allows author to write as the wish.
