Example: Question # __42_____My Answer: ____A_____Correct Answer: ____D_____ Select One: oI made a mistake on this question oThis was an unfair question I thought the correct answer was A because the first part of the sentence says “the same people, or at least the same sort of people, the same profusions of champagne, the same many-colored” so I thought the answer was that Gatsby’s parties never change. However, the correct answer is D because the last part of the sentence says “but I felt an unpleasantness in the air, a pervading harshness that hadn’t been there before”. In order to answer this question correctly you would need to read the entire passage and not jump on the first distractor answer.
