Answer 1

I absolutely love this book and the movie! 

the answer is either c or d but I'm 99% positive the answer is

D-wealth cannot but friendship's.

remembering this part of the book I'm pretty sure the answer indeed is D. Hope my answer could help.

Answer 2

D.Wealth cannot buy friendship.

Gatsby's focus on wealth and the ostentatious lead many people to be "friends" with him. Rather they took advantage of his desire to belong to high society and enjoyed his lavish parties. In this scene, the speaker and his father are at Gatsby's funeral waiting for other's to attend. No one arrives. Even though Gatsby seemed to have people around him, no one was actually enough of a friend to attend his funeral. This further shows that wealth cannot buy friendship.
