Question 3
Read the following passage:

“Daisy’s eyes flashed around her in a defiant way, rather like Tom’s and she laughed with thrilling scorn. ‘Sophisticated- God, I’m so sophisticated!’ The instant her voice broke off, ceasing to compel my attention, my belief, I felt the basic insincerity in what she had said. It made me uneasy, as though the whole evening had been a trick of some sort to exact a contributory emotion from me. I waited, and sure enough, in a moment she looked at me with an absolute smirk on her lovely face as if she had asserted her membership in a rather distinguished secret society to which she and Tom belonged.”
