Which character identifies Nick's tendency to highlight ethnic affiliation?

• A. Nick Carraway
• B. Peter Gregg Slater
• C. Daisy Buchanan
• D. Meyer Wolfsheim

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing who calls out Nick's habit of labeling people by ethnicity. Peter Gregg Slater points out that Nick tends to describe others by their ethnic background, which serves as a meta-commentary on Nick as the narrator and on the social attitudes of the era. This observation highlights how Nick’s observations can be influenced by bias, and it shows how dialogue can reveal a character’s blind spots without a direct confession from Nick himself. That makes Slater the best choice because the moment is about identifying Nick’s tendency, not about Nick’s own narration or about the other characters’ concerns. The other figures in the scene aren’t the ones drawing attention to Nick’s labeling habit, and their roles center on different dynamics—Daisy with social and romantic concerns, Meyer Wolfsheim with his own worldliness, and Nick as the narrator who isn’t calling out his own bias in that moment.
