Read the following excerpt from the great gatsby:

but [gatsby's] heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. the most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. a universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the washstand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor. each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace.

which statement best explains the effect that the figurative language in this passage has on the setting?

a. ticking on the washstand, the clock symbolizes the time that passes while gatsby's dreams slip by.
b. through the use of comparisons, the author allows drowsiness to become a character that can "embrace" gatsby.
c. by using the phrase "universe of ineffable gaudiness," the author suggests that gatsby's imagination is limitless.
d. the moon figuratively "soaks" gatsby's clothes, which shows just how much moonlight is in the room.
