Question

which piece of textual evidence from the great gatsby provides the strongest support for the following claim? claim: gatsby believes daisy is in love with him.
\your wife doesnt love you, said gatsby. shes never loved you. she loves me.\
\gatsby got himself into a shadow and...looked...with tense unhappy eyes.\
\luckily the clock took this moment to tilt dangerously at the pressure of his head...\

Explanation:

The first quote directly shows Gatsby asserting that Daisy loves him (and not Tom), which is explicit textual evidence for the claim that he believes Daisy is in love with him. The other quotes describe his demeanor or a symbolic moment, but do not directly state or demonstrate his belief in Daisy's love for him.

Answer:

A. "Your wife doesn't love you,' said Gatsby. 'She's never loved you. She loves me.'"
