Answer 1

Myrtle Wilson is killed by a car driven by Daisy Buchanan after an argument with her husband in 'The Great Gatsby'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, Myrtle Wilson is tragically hit by a car and killed after she runs out into the street during an argument with her husband, George Wilson. This event occurs after she makes it downstairs from their apartment over the garage. The car that strikes Myrtle is driven by Daisy Buchanan, though it is owned by Jay Gatsby, and this incident significantly escalates the novel's tension and leads to subsequent tragic events.
