The answer to this will be despairing
From my previous ans to ur Q last week:
Daisy is the ultimate status symbol; at least for Gatsby she is. In a way, she IS the American Dream. W<span>hen Daisy and Gatsby reunite and begin an affair, it seems like Gatsby could in fact achieve his goal.
But </span>Daisy refuses to leave Tom and Gatsby is killed by George. With the “strivers” all dead, the old money crowd is safe again. <span>Daisy was born with money and does not need to strive for great wealth or other far-off things from the American Dream.
</span>Nick describes Daisy as “High in a white palace the king’s daughter, the golden girl,” literally considering Daisy as a prize. He also pessimistically says, “you can’t repeat the past”, implying there is but a small window for certain dreams. The dreams cannot be achieved once the window is closed.
Nick is not happy with his family’s respectable fortune and his girlfriend out west. At the end, <span>Nick sadly meditates on the lost promise of the American Dream
</span>
The part on Nick was a little thin - as Nick explains in the book, the American dream was originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. It has been corrupted by <span>easy money and relaxed social values. Nick</span><span> realized after Gatsby's death: the dream was also about learning from the past.
"On Nick’s last night in the East, he walks over to Gatsby’s mansion. Nick looks out along the beach and wonders what this land was like long ago-when it was a new and unspoiled world. Nick sees the green light. The green light represents the dream. The pure dream that Gatsby had. The purity of the American Dream is something that is in our past. The past of our nation, and in the innocence of our youth.
</span>
Nick realizes that what Gatsby had was the sense of unlimited promise. He possessed The American Dream. An older and wiser Nick returns to the Midwest."
Answer:
And I lean down to catch my breath and here comes Gretchen walking back, for she’s overshot the finish line too, huffing and puffing with her hands on her hips taking it slow, breathing in steady time like a real pro and I sort of like her a little for the first time.
Explanation:

correct me if this is wrong
I think the answer is "words that seem opposite or different" because it somewhat indicate a sentence which contains a comparison context clue.
I would say pessimist. In "The Great Gatsby", Gatsby never ends up getting Daisy. He loved her, but all of his efforts were wasted. She never loved him back. I hope this helps!
