Answer:

The answer is letter B. Dr. Eckleburg's billboard.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The theme is the decadence of society and the corruption of the American dream. The characters are mostly rich but vapid. Their lives are lived with the purpose of entertaining themselves, since life itself does not represent a challenge. Their struggle to survive does concern making money, working, or paying bills, but hiding their secrets, living behind a facade of happiness and fulfillment. Behind the curtains, they are superficial and miserable, ready to judge each other as if they were perfect and spotless.

However, in several moments throughout the story, an oculist's billboard portraying blue eyes watches over it all. Dr. T. J. Eckleburg's billboard can be found in the Valley of Ashes, its blue color completely dissonant to the grey landscape. The eyes follow the people, stare at them intently as if they were the eyes of God, judging every sin. A certain character, George Wilson, seems indeed to mistake God for the Doctor:

<em>Standing behind him Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg which had just emerged pale and enormous from the dissolving night. </em>

<em>"God sees everything," repeated Wilson. </em>

<em>"That's an advertisement," Michaelis assured him. Something made him turn away from the window and look back into the room. But Wilson stood there a long time, his face close to the window pane, nodding into the twilight.</em>

The following sentence has a dangling modifier.
Basile [38]

The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”

In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.

The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.

Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.

And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.
