Question

read the excerpt from chapter 4 of the great gatsby: and then came that disconcerting ride. we hadnt reached west egg village before gatsby began leaving his elegant sentences unfinished and slapping himself indecisively on the knee of his caramel - colored suit. \look here, old sport, \ he broke out surprisingly \whats your opinion of me, anyhow?\ a little overwhelmed, i began the generalized evasions which that question deserves. what is most likely the meaning of disconcerting? dangerous embarrassing rambling uplifting

Explanation:

In the context, Gatsby's behavior (leaving sentences unfinished, slapping knee) creates an awkward situation. "Disconcerting" implies causing unease or embarrassment. "Dangerous" (no indication of threat), "rambling" (not about speech in this context), "uplifting" (opposite of the mood) are less fitting.

Answer:

embarrassing
