Read the excerpt from fitzgerald’s the great gatsby. the one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard—it was a factual imitation of some hotel de ville in normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden. what does this description about gatsby’s house reveal about his character?

D

Explanation:

He is newly wealthy individual who aspires to project a false image of himself.

It's been a while since I've read the book and I don't really a lot of the context, so just from this passage I would say it says he notices nice houses and other people's wealth and maybe envies them a little bit. (although you don't get that explicitly from this passage.)

A dime a dozen - very common

The best of both worlds - an ideal situation

Go back to the drawing board - start over

Pull yourself together - calm down

Get bent out of shape - be upset.
