Who is the narrator of "The Great Gatsby"?

1. Daisy Buchanan

2. Jay Gatsby

3. Tom Buchanan

4. Nick Carraway

The correct answer is: Nick Carraway

Nick Carraway is the narrator of "The Great Gatsby." It is important to remember that while Daisy and Tom Buchanan play important roles in the story, they are not the narrators. Jay Gatsby, while a central character, is not the one telling the story. Instead, it is Nick Carraway who serves as a witness and confidant to Gatsby and the other characters, giving readers an important perspective on the events that unfold throughout the novel. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
