Question

in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", which of the following phrases best supports the speaker's attitude toward Gatsby: extraordinary gift of hope; privileged glimpses, riotous excursions, moral attention, short-winded elations

Answer 1

In "The Great Gatsby," the phrase that best supports the speaker's attitude toward Gatsby is "extraordinary gift of hope." This phrase encapsulates the idealism and ambition that Gatsby embodies, reflecting a sense of admiration and aspiration in the face of the American Dream, despite the underlying tragedy of his situation. The other phrases—while descriptive—do not convey the same level of profound respect and insight into Gatsby's character as the notion of hope does.
