Before Gatsby's death, where does George Wilson locate him?

• A. In the pool
• B. In the garage
• C. In the study
• D. In the garden

Answer: (A)

The key idea being tested is recalling a specific scene from the story: the exact place where the fatal confrontation occurs. George Wilson, driven by grief and anger after Myrtle’s death, goes to West Egg to find the owner of the car involved. The narrative shows Gatsby found at his pool, and it is there that the fatal moment unfolds. The pool setting matters because it frames Gatsby’s death in a serene, isolated space that contrasts with the bustling wealth around him and underscores the emptiness of the dream he built with Daisy. The other locations—garage, study, or garden—do not align with the events of the confrontation and the moment of Gatsby’s death, making the pool the specific, correct setting.
