Explanation:

Last option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

This is an example of how Francis Scott Fitzgerald creates a narrator in The Great Gatsby that shows an ability to use setting in his favor. In this excerpt, the speaker creates and atmosphere (the tip of the egg, squeezed between two huge places) while establishing a geographic context (fifty yards from the Sound, some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, forty acres of lawn and garden). This way, the reader can understand more easily the description because the speaker refers to some places that are not very demanding to come to the imagination.
