Question 3

Ending para

Answer 3

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther …And one fine morning -
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past
