The correct answer is the following.
There is no question here. It is only a description, but there is no question at all. However, we can comment on the following.
The description refers to the passage of the story "The Great Gatsby," written by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. This novel has been publicly acclaimed as one of the best books written in American modern times to the degree that a movie was filmed due to the success of the book.
The description in the book goes on with parts of the text like this: "Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York — every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves. There was a machine in the kitchen which could extract the juice of two hundred oranges in half an hour if a little button was pressed two hundred times by a butler’s thumb."
The setting and the descriptions of the author are very important to create an impact on the story and maintain the interest of the reader.
