Sagot :

Among the options given, the one that best describes Nick Carraway is the following:

A. A quiet, reflective young man of "old money" wealth, from the Midwest.

  • Nick Carraway is the narrator of "The Great Gatsby," a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

  • Nick's family is "something of a clan," and they are more likely old money. That means their money was acquired generations ago. However, they do not seem as wealthy as Nick's cousin Daisy, for example.

  • Nick is more of a reflective and reserved type. Although he is constantly dragged into parties and dinners, he does not seem to seek adventure or shallow enjoyment on his own.

  • He does move to New York to learn the bond business, but he does not need to. He could very well have stayed home and enjoyed his family's situation.

  • With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
