Where does George Wilson locate Gatsby before killing him?

Where does George Wilson locate Gatsby before killing him?

• A. Lounging in his pool
• B. In the garage
• C. In the kitchen
• D. On the front lawn

Answer: (A)

The key detail is the setting of Gatsby’s murder. After Myrtle’s death, George Wilson goes to Gatsby’s home to confront the man he believes killed her, and the fatal confrontation occurs at Gatsby’s swimming pool. It’s there that Wilson shoots Gatsby, making the pool the correct location. The other spots — the garage, the kitchen, or the front lawn — aren’t where the killing takes place in the narrative, so they don’t fit the described moment.
