How did Zelda Fitzgerald spend the final years of her life?

• A. In exile abroad
• B. Hospitalized for mental illness
• C. Working as a novelist
• D. Living in a seaside retreat

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding Zelda Fitzgerald’s situation in her later years. After a period of intense fame and personal turmoil, she faced serious mental health challenges and spent the bulk of her remaining life in medical or psychiatric facilities. This is why the description of her final years as being spent in hospital care is the most accurate. She did not spend those years traveling abroad in exile, continuing to publish or work as a novelist, or retreating to a seaside location. Those paths don’t match the documented arc of her later life, which centers on long-term hospitalization due to mental illness.
