- C.

- D.
  
  George.
Correct Answer

- A.
  
  Tom.
- B.
  
  George.
- C.
  
  Daisy.
- D.
  
  Nick.
Correct Answer
C. Daisy.

Explanation
The correct answer is Daisy. In the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy Buchanan is driving the car that hits and kills Myrtle Wilson. This event occurs during a heated argument between Daisy and her husband Tom, who is having an affair with Myrtle. Daisy, in a state of distress, accidentally hits Myrtle while driving Gatsby's car. This incident sets off a chain of tragic events that ultimately lead to the downfall of several characters in the story.

Rate this question:

  In the cupboard under the stairs.
- B.
  
  In the bushes.
- C.
  
  In Daisy's bedroom.
- D.
  
  In the linen closet.
Correct Answer
B. In the bushes.

Explanation
The correct answer is "In the bushes." This is likely the correct answer because hiding in the bushes would provide Gatsby with a quick and easy escape route after the car incident. It would also allow him to remain hidden and avoid detection. Additionally, hiding in the bushes would provide Gatsby with some level of camouflage, making it less likely for him to be discovered.
