Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby best indicates that Nick is not fully content with his life?
He didn’t say any more, but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.
Father agreed to finance me for a year, and after various delays I came East, permanently, I thought, in the spring of twenty-two.
Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe—so I decided to go East and learn the bond business.
I had a dog—at least I had him for a few days until he ran away—and an old Dodge and a Finnish woman, who made my bed and cooked breakfast and muttered Finnish wisdom to herself over the electric stove.

The team's playing in this video are presented as Baylor Bears and Texas Longhorns. Baylor is #3 with a win to loss ratio of 11-2 for this season while Taylor is #1 with their unbeaten 11-0. Texas hit 294 as a team while Baylor hit 233, Texas Longhorns so far is the best hitting team efficiency wise in the country with a score of .359. Baylor took the lead in the first two sets when they made their first o2 comeback ever since Nov 1st of 2017. Hannah Sedwick, #14 Setter, in Baylor to me, seems like a really focused player, they mentioned how she was out for most of the season due to a fracture in her leg but yet she seems so active and awake, all of the players put in an effort but Hannah actually commits. When blocking the ball, her entire body became stiff and she carried the win for her team. On the other team there's Yossiana Pressley, #32 Outside Hitter, on the Baylor Bears who had 29 kills in the first part, and I have to say she completely dominated Baylor's with her spikes. Nilani Iosia, #12 Libero, in the Texas Longhorn scored 15 digs and an excellent passing percentage while Lauren Harrison, #31 Outside Hitter, Baylor Bears was the second leading attacker in the first part. Another notable player is Jhenna Gabriel, #2 setter, in Texas Longhorns who is the reigning national player of the big 12 player of the year.

The Texas Longhorns came through this game with a ratio of 3-2 remaining unbeaten for the 12th time in a row. In one play I remember Butler barely hit the ball over the net and scored. It wasn't such a critical play but it had strategy and reasoning behind it. While Baylor prepared for the worst by upgrading the offense, they left their defense bare. That's why I think it was smart how Butler quickly noticed that and surprised them. This team had a quick dynamic where they would hit the ball before the blockers could completely cover over the net. Somewhere in the beginning, I immediately had a feeling Taylors had something the Bears didn’t which helped them stay unbeaten. I’d say it’s how they made sure to make their hits clear so that it can go through the blockers, and they were very efficient with passing the ball to their hitters. They should’ve had a clearer touch with the ball as well even if they won, it looked like both teams couldn’t block the ball most of the time.

The losing team, Baylor Bears, was honestly close to Texas's score. I couldn't stop focusing on Yossiana Pressley in Baylor, she had perfect momentum and sharp reflexes. Not just because of her kills but I'd say she was the MVP player of this game. The team was always so supportive as well especially whenever a small mistake occurred like a foul for going over the line on a serve. I have to admit, most of their sets were average, and not to mention how their hitters would constantly hit out of the court. It seemed as if they were trying to get it to hit the net so Taylor's would have more difficulty blocking it, if that's the case then it's a very smart move, but otherwise, if they just happened to be lucky then I'd consider it a miracle. This team could always track the ball but when it came to controlling the ball, they were late and had bad momentum. The sad part is, the Baylor Bears are such a good team, I personally liked them more in the beginning where I saw more action, but whenever it came down to the ball constantly being passed back and forth it seemed as if they lost energy which to me, ultimately led to the downfall of their team.

Thank you :)

PARAGRAPH 7:

The Ghost Town
7 Today, Centralia is an eerie ghost town. The wafting smoke and shifting soil are too dangerous for most to brave. The detour signs on Route 61 give no indication of the troubles in Centralia; most cars just veer around the smoldering town. But for those who are fascinated by the fire, Centralia has become a sort of mecca. Tourists come to stare at the devastated landscape, and conspiracy theorists gather to share their outlandish ideas. Of the visitors, the researchers are the most hopeful. They study Centralia's soil, plants, and animals, and they believe that the effects of the fire will shed light upon the processes that created this planet. Though a terrible tragedy, the Centralia fire may someday lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.


QUESTION:
What is the central idea of paragraph 7?

A.
Because of the lack of signs, many are unaware of the impact of the fire.

B.
Because of the fire, Centralia has seen a boost in tourism and scientific research.

C.
The population of Centralia has dropped significantly since the fire started.

D.
As a result of the conspiracies, many people do not believe the fire was real.
