So, in the part that the question is referring to, Jordan remarks that Daisy’s voice has a tint of sexual love to it. That means Jordan thinks she has a sensual and seductive voice.
Well, think about it. Daisy is the ultimate goal of Gatsby. She is his one and only love. That’s what’s significant. When Jordan says that Daisy’s love has a sensual tint to it, she is hinting at Daisy’s sexuality and her sensual nature.
That’s the best answer I can come up with without having the book in front of me. I did read it. I don’t think they are looking for a specific detail in the story. I think it just means, “what does Jordan’s comment on Daisy’s voice (having an amorous tinge) say about Daisy as a character?” Maybe that will help you answer better. =]
Good luck. The Great Gatsby is a wonderful book.
