The story’s conflict will be based on wealth and appearances.

Explanation:

Francis Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" is the tragic story of Jay Gatsby and his attempts to reignite a relationship with his old lover Daisy Buchanan. This story also plays a contrasting picture of the rich and the poor people's differing world.

Considering the passage given in the question, it is evident that the narrator is referring to the differing worlds of West Egg and East Egg. He said that though his house was an eyesore, it was near "the consoling proximity of millionaires". This refers simply to the fact that being in close proximity to the rich gives the place a far more better advantage than the other houses. This contrast created between East Egg and West Egg suggests that the story's conflict will be based on the wealth and appearances of the characters living in both sides of the city.

i cannot see any of the options

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
