B) Wilson says a blue car hit his wife.
C) Wilson says a green car hit his wife.
D) Wilson says a black car hit his wife.

Answer 1

In 'The Great Gatsby,' it is noted that a yellow car was the one that hit George Wilson's wife, Myrtle. This colour choice for the car symbolizes the corrupt and decadent side of wealth in the novel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to a scene from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel 'The Great Gatsby,' where George Wilson discusses the tragic hit-and-run incident that resulted in his wife's death. In the novel, Wilson says a yellow car hit his wife. Specifically, it is described as 'the death car,' a yellow Rolls-Royce, supposed to be owned by Jay Gatsby but was being driven by Daisy Buchanan during the accident. The use of a yellow car in the novel symbolizes the corruption and decay of wealth, as well as the reckless behaviour of the characters, which ultimately leads to tragedy.
