Answer:
Nick was actually invited for the party and he did not drink as much as the other guests.
Explanation:
Nick is the narrator in the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story revolves around the character named Jay Gatsby and his forbidden love for Nick's cousin Daisy.
In chapter 3, Gatsby throws another of his grand parties. When Nick arrives at the party, he finds out he is one of the few guests who have actually been invited to it. Check the excerpt below:
<em>I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited — they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door.</em>
Nick is alone at the party and Gatsby himself is nowhere to be seen. Nick approaches a cocktail table with the intention of getting drunk "out of sheer embarrassment" but, upon seeing Jordan Baker, he chooses to stay by her side. Later on, he admits to drinking "two finger-bowls of champagne" but doesn't seem to drink any more than that. He stays sober enough to perceive how the drunken guests make a fool out of themselves and yet it all seems acceptable since it is a party.
<em>I was enjoying myself now. I had taken two finger-bowls of champagne, and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental, and profound.</em>

Explanation:
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their battling families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. They are considered the perfect model for the young love.
Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play assigns different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more proficient at the sonnet over the course of the play.
The play is set in Verona, Italy, begins with a street fight between Montague and Capulet servants who, like their masters, are sworn enemies. Prince Escalus of Verona mediates and declares that further rupture of the peace will be punishable by death. Later, Count Paris talks to Capulet about marrying his daughter Juliet, but Capulet asks Paris to wait another two years and invites him to attend a planned Capulet ball. Lady Capulet and Juliet's nurse try to persuade Juliet to accept Paris's courtship. But contrary to everyone’s wishes and better fate Juliet fall in love with one of the Montagues, Romeo, and the tragedy properly starts.
The lines from the excerpt that support the inference that Romeo is emotionally conflicted are:
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will.
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Dost thou not laugh?
