Explanation:

For Question 2:

The phrase links Daisy directly to wealth, which is a core part of Gatsby's obsession with her; he chases the upper-class status she represents.

For Question 3:

Tom acts authoritatively to control the situation, avoiding the table (where Myrtle's body likely is) and focusing on managing others, showing his priority is protecting his own standing rather than genuine care or regret.

For Question 4:

Myrtle's death is caused by the careless actions of wealthy characters (Daisy driving, Tom's affair), and the graphic description emphasizes the harm privileged, reckless people inflict on those without their status.

1. D. He is drawn to Daisy's wealth and class.
2. B. He prioritizes his reputation.
3. C. It highlights the damage wealthy, reckless people can cause.
