Detailed explanation-1: -Tom insists that he had no idea that Jim was engaged and that he does not know much about anyone at the warehouse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: It is unknown for sure whether or not Jim was engaged or not in The Glass Menagerie. Jim does say he is engaged when Laura tries to get closer to him, but he had not said anything about that to Tom previously, and whether it is true or just an excuse he tells Laura is not known.
Detailed explanation-3: -But Tom explains that Jim was his only friend at the warehouse because Tom was valuable to Jim’s ego as a person who could remember his greatness in high school. The scene then opens on Amanda and Laura as they are preparing for the arrival of the gentleman caller.
Detailed explanation-4: -Six years out of high school, Jim was working a job that was hardly better than Tom’s. Tom remembers that he and Jim were on friendly terms. As the only one at the warehouse who knew about Jim’s past glories, Tom was useful to Jim.
