Answer 1

When Gatsby tells him about things like his time at Oxford, his medals for his service in the war, and his time living "like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe," Nick feels as though Gatsby is lying, and he dislikes him

Option B

Explanation:

In order to create a positive impression, Gatsby told him a story about his wartime courage and his Oxford days. Nick then joins Jordan at the Hotel Plaza. She states that Gatsby and Daisy met in 1917 when Gatsby was a member of the Louisville-based American Military forces. Both fell in love, but Daisy married Tom secretly when Gatsby was stationed in other countries.

Now Gatsby expects that Daisy will accept him as a sponsor for his shimmering parties and real wealth. Gatsby utilizes Nick for a meeting with Daisy and is drawn to Nick's tea bungalow where Gatsby is waiting for her secretly. Gathered together, Daisy and Gatsby become engaged in a love affair.
