The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: I said lightly that I had heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later
I got up to go home. They came to the door with me and stood side by
side in a cheerful square of light. As I started my motor Daisy
peremptorily called: "Wait!"
"I forgot to ask you something, and it's important. We heard you were
engaged to a girl out West."
"That's right," corroborated Tom kindly. "We heard that you were
engaged."
"It's libel. I'm too poor."
"But we heard it," insisted Daisy, surprising me by opening up again in
a flower-like way. "We heard it from three people, so it must be true."
