1. Which of the following BEST describes how Nick feels during dinner with the Buchanans?
a. Captivated and curious
b. Uncomfortable and overwhelmed
c. Jealous and skeptical
d. Enthralled and excited

2. Which piece of textual evidence BEST supports the answer to the above question?
a. “They [Daisy and Miss Baker] were here, and they accepted Tom and me, making only polite pleasant effort to entertain or be entertained. They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little later the evening, too, would be over and casually put away.”
b. “I am not even faintly like a rose. She [Daisy] was only extemporizing, but a stirring warmth flowed from her, as if her heart was trying to come out to you concealed in one of those breathless, thrilling words.”
c. “The telephone rang inside, startlingly...I was conscious of wanting to look squarely at every one, and yet to avoid all eyes...To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing--my own instinct was to telephone immediately for the police.”
d. “Daisy took her face in her hands as if feeling its lovely shape, and her eyes moved gradually out into the velvet dusk. I saw that turbulent emotions possessed her, so I asked what I thought would be some sedative questions about her little girl.”

Nick is decidedly uncomfortable during the dinner and gives several indications of his awkward discomfort in the passage. First, he mentions the evening being over sooner than later. Then, the wringing of the telephone prompts in Nick a desire to phone the police. Finally, he is overwhelmed and uncomfortable by the presence of Daisy.

Option c. provides the best piece of textual evidence as it alludes to being both uncomfortable and overwhelmed.
