Read the following excerpt from the great gatsby:

but [gatsby's] heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. the most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. a universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the washstand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor. each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace.
which statement best explains the effect that the figurative language in this passage has on the plot of the novel?
a. two examples of figurative language include the conceits that "haunt" gatsby and the drowsiness that "embraces" him.
b. by comparing the tangled clothes to the moonlight, the author anticipates the green light on daisy's dock that gatsby yearns for.
c. figuratively describing gatsby's heart as being in a riot explain the intensity with which he later pursues daisy and other ambitions.
d. calling gatsby's fantasies an ever-growing "pattern" suggests that he is a creative genius and a master schemer.
