Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?
O... he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn
he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward- and distinguished
nothing except a single green light, minute and
far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked
once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was
alone again in the unquiet darkness.
O Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn't even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published
the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You
can't stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and

marriage.
OI 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!"
O "Her family is one aunt about a thousand years old. Besides, Nick's going
to look after her, aren't you, Nick?
She's
going to spend lots of week-ends out here this summer
. I think the home influence will be very good for her."
