Which excerpt from the great gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?

. . 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.

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 on the other hand i had no intention of being rumored into marriage.

i 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! ”

“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.”
