Read Nick's description of Tom and Daisy's house and its grounds below:

The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold . . . What is Nick's feeling or attitude about the house and its grounds?
A. He finds it disappointing.
B. He finds it ugly and gaudy.
C. He finds it cozy and charming.
D. He finds it enchanting.

Respuesta :

D. He finds it enchanting. 
The way the author uses "burning gardens" and "windows, glowing now with reflected gold" backs up this statement. 

The correct answer is "D".

The words "quarter of a mile" reflect the amazement at the long distance which the lawn extends from the beach until the entrance of the house. The words "burning gardens" reflect house such vast gardens are exposed to the scorching sun along the beach. Finally, "glowing now with reflected gold" express how the sun's light is reflected in the windows and how beautiful it looks.
