Question

excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald
for a while i lost sight of jordan baker, and then in midsummer i found her again. at first i was flattered to go places with her, because she was a golf champion, and everyone knew her name. then it was something more. i wasnt actually in love, but i felt a sort of tender curiosity. the bored haughty face that she turned to the world concealed something - most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they dont in the beginning - and one day i found what it was. when we were on a house - party together up in warwick, she left a borrowed car out in the rain with the top down, and then lied about it - and suddenly i remembered the story about her that had eluded me that night at daisys. at her first big golf tournament there was a row that nearly reached the newspapers - a suggestion that she had moved her ball from a bad lie in the semifinal round. the thing approached the proportions of a scandal - then died away. a caddy retracted his statement, and the only other witness admitted that he might have been mistaken. the incident and the name had remained together in my mind.
which claim does this textual evidence from the great gatsby support?
nick feels smothered around jordan, as she has such a large personality.
nick feels unlucky to be stuck with jordan, and out of his depth with the rich and powerful.
nick feels lucky to be close with jordan, and out of his depth with the rich and powerful.

Explanation:

The text says "At first I was flattered to go places with her". "Flattered" implies a positive feeling (like feeling lucky). The rest of the text doesn't indicate Nick feels smothered (no mention of being overwhelmed by her personality). And the "out of his depth with the rich and powerful" can be inferred from the context of the story's setting where Nick is around wealthy people (like Jordan who is part of that social circle).

Answer:

Nick feels lucky to be close with Jordan, and out of his depth with the rich and powerful.
