What message do phrases such as “the consoling proximity of millionaires” and “white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered” convey to the reader? Everyone in East Egg lives in a palace. Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator. The narrator despises people who live in large homes. Financial wealth has no relevance in this novel.

The correct answer would be the second option. The message that the phrases "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and “white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered” convey to the reader is that, financial wealth is desirable to the narrator. This is based from an excerpt from Fitzgerald and the Roaring Twenties. Hope this answer helps.
