Read the excerpt from fitzgerald's the great gatsby
their house was even more elaborate than i expected, a cheerful red-and-white georgian colonial mansion,
overlooking the bay. the lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping ove
sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens-finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vine
as though from the momentum of its run. the front was broken by a line of french windows, glowing now with
reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and tom buchanan in riding clothes was standing with
his legs apart on the front porch.
based on this description of the buchanans' house, what inference can be made about many east egg residents?
they hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.
they commonly ride horses in the afternoon or early evening hours.
they are more sophisticated than west egg residents, because they have less money
they place more importance on the appearance of their homes than in anything else.

I believe the answer is the 4th one.

Explanation:

Pretty much the entire excerpt is about the house and how beautiful it is. It's a pretty clear indication the people place more importance on the appearance of their homes than in anything else.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
