Two questions from Chapter 1
1. Soon after Nick moves to West Egg, what makes him stop feeling lonely?
- A His Finnish housekeeper starts cooking his evening meals
- B A newcomer stops him on the road to ask the way to West Egg village
- C A young man from his office moves into the bungalow with him
- D Daisy telephones to invite him to dinner in East Egg
Answer key
B. Being asked for directions makes Nick feel like a settler; the coworker who found the house was sent to Washington, so Nick moved in alone.
2. Daisy repeats what she said after her daughter was born: "I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." What does the line suggest about Daisy's view of her world?
- A A girl will suffer less if she does not see too clearly how things are
- B She wishes her child had been born a boy instead
- C She is joking that her daughter already looks like Tom
- D She wants her daughter to grow up as sophisticated as herself
Answer key
A. Speaking from her own sense of abandonment, Daisy implies that knowing less would hurt less; she says she is glad it is a girl, so B is wrong.
