Question

Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby. "But we heard it," insisted Daisy, surprising me by opening up again in a flower-like way. "We heard it from three people, so it must be true." Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn't even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can't stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage. Daisy’s insistence that the rumor of Nick’s engagement is true despite his denial suggests a conflict between East Egg and West Egg. the upper class and the middle class. Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan. rumor and reality.

Answer 1

D. rumor and reality

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Gatsby is set at a time when people valued appearances and gossip more than the actual hard facts. Daisy's sentence, "We heard it from three people, so it must be true." conveys that she believes gossip and people's word of mouth more than actually hearing it from Nick himself.
