My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor’s lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month.
Answer
H
He is not particularly impressed by material wealth and fashionable appearances.
H
He plans to move into another house as soon as the opportunity arises.
H
He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.
H
He is desperate to become part of the elite society of West Egg and East Egg.
Explanation
The narrator describes his house as small and unattractive, yet says it costs only eighty dollars a month and is close to millionaires. This suggests he can afford a modest home in West Egg but not a more impressive one. Choice C best matches that contrast; the quote does not say he plans to move or wants to join elite society.
