Explanation:

Question 5:

In "The Great Gatsby", Nick asks the minister to wait during Gatsby's funeral. This shows Nick hopes that more people (especially those from Gatsby's social circle, like Daisy, or his party guests) will come to honor Gatsby. He hopes for a larger, more respectful turnout to acknowledge Gatsby's life, as Gatsby was isolated in death despite his parties.

Question 6:

Gatsby's funeral procession is very small. Only a few people attend: Nick, Owl Eyes, Gatsby's father (Henry Gatz), and the minister. Most of Gatsby's acquaintances (like Daisy, Tom, and his party guests) don't come, highlighting the emptiness of his wealthy, social life and the lack of true connections.

Question 7:

When Gatsby's procession enters the cemetery, Gatsby's father, Henry Gatz, has already arrived (or suddenly appears at the cemetery gate). He comes to pay his respects to his son, showing a personal, familial connection that was absent in Gatsby's adult social world.
