The correct answer is:
<em>Becca never tried to complete anything she </em><em>was </em><em>resolved to do.</em>
The adjective "resolved" can be used in the expression "be resolved to do something" when it means "be determined to do something". The mistake in this case was that the writer had used the verb "have" instead of the verb "be".
Another example:
After his divorce, he was resolved to move on with his life.
In this scene, Nick is reunited with his cousin, Daisy, and her husband and is introduced to Jordan. The colors associated with the fashionable East Egg are white and gold, suggesting wealth and beauty; however, all is not well in paradice. Dinner is interupted when the telephone rings, and Tom is called from the room to answer it. When Daisy follows him out, Jordan Baker confides to Nick that the call is from Tom's 'woman' in New York.
The correct answer is C.
