Answer:

Explanation:

his quote describes Jordan Baker's interaction with her date during one of Jay Gatsby's elaborate summer parties, which Nick attends for the first time in chapter 3. As Nick and Jordan are sitting at a crowded table located in Gatsby's decorated garden, Nick describes Jordan's date as a "persistent undergraduate given to violent innuendo and obviously under the impression that sooner or later Jordan was going to yield him up her person to a greater or lesser degree" (Fitzgerald, 49). In the context of the sentence, the word "persistent" is closer to the word "obnoxious," while the term "violent" has a similar connotation to the word "risky." Nick is essentially calling Jordan Baker's date an annoying, sexually suggestive young man, who is primarily focused on hooking up with her. Nick notices that Jordan's date is making passes at her in public, which could be described as rather risky behavior. Despite his advances, Jordan is not interested in him and tells Nick that the party has become a bore. When Jordan excuses herself from the table with Nick, her date nods cynically toward her and assumes a melancholy disposition.

Answer: Basically Jordan’s date is flinging himself on her.  If he were leeching off of her, he would be there just to take advantage of the party.  Although he knows she will sooner or later dump him for someone better, he does not let it bother him.
