Answer:

The revelation Owl-Eyes share is letter B) He found the books in the library are real.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick, Jordan, Owl-Eyes, and Gatsby are characters in Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby". Gatsby is a millionaire who came from nowhere. People have several theories about him and his fortune, most of them including crimes. The little they do know about him is constantly questioned. That is why a man described as Owl-Eyes - due to his big eyes magnified by his glasses - shows so much surprise when he realizes the books in Gatsby's library are real. He thought they would be just props. Still, the books' being real does not convince him that Gatsby is truly the man he claims to be, some heir who attended Oxford. Owl-Eyes still thinks Gatsby is lying, but now he admires how thoroughly Gatsby has worked to make his past convincing:

“Absolutely real — have pages and everything. I thought they’d be a nice durable cardboard. Matter of fact, they’re absolutely real. Pages and — Here! Lemme show you.”

Taking our scepticism for granted, he rushed to the bookcases and returned with Volume One of the “Stoddard Lectures.”

“See!” he cried triumphantly. “It’s a bona-fide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella’s a regular Belasco. It’s a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too — didn’t cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?”
