Explanation:

Question 1 (What does Gatsby not have that those of old money have?)

In "The Great Gatsby", old - money families (like those in East Egg) often have a horse as a symbol of traditional wealth and status. Gatsby, with his new money, doesn't have a horse. A boat, a car, and a tennis court are things Gatsby either has or is not a defining lack compared to old money's horse - related status.

East Eggers have certain unspoken social customs about acceptance. Gatsby doesn't realize that he isn't truly wanted at dinner in the East Egg social circle. His speech being coarse, inviting lower - class people, or his clothes' caliber are not the main ways he shows a lack of understanding of their core social customs of acceptance and belonging.

In the context of the party in "The Great Gatsby", Tom is known as "The polo player". This is related to his social identity and the way he is perceived in the party's social context, different from being defined just as an East Egger, a millionaire, or a Chicagoan.

Answer:

A. A horse
