Gatsby's description of Daisy's voice suggests his tendency to view her as a financial commodity.

• A. He admires her moral strength
• B. He sees her as a social equal
• C. He views her as a financial commodity
• D. He believes wealth is a source of happiness for all

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that Fitzgerald uses Daisy’s voice as a symbol of wealth and social power. When Gatsby describes Daisy’s voice as being “full of money,” it isn’t just praising her beauty; it links her to the lure and security of old money, luxury, and social standing. Gatsby has built his dream around rising into the world Daisy represents, so he reads her voice as a sign of the wealth and status that would validate his desire and promise him a secure, glamorous life. In this light, viewing her as a financial commodity fits because the description shows how much Gatsby equates love with the wealth and social access that Daisy embodies.

This interpretation lines up with the broader themes of the novel: money as a gatekeeper of happiness and social acceptance, and the ways the dream of wealth can corrupt genuine affection. While moral strength, equality, or universal happiness aren’t what the line highlights, the emphasis on money as what Daisy’s presence signifies makes the commodity idea the most fitting reading.
