6 0

The correct option is \boxed{\text{C. a pair of eyes on a billboard}}.

Further Explanation:

In the story "The Great Gatsby" Fitzgerald revolves around a love story of a man and a woman but there lies a much bigger platform under the romantic level. The story throws light on the people living during the 1920s in America. He portrays the character and the story who reflect on the hollowness of the moral aspect of the people. The people at that time rushed blindly behind the false and materialistic pleasure. The extravagant parties and the newly rich class of the society are the reflections of the American dream. The desire for money and pleasure constituted the dream of the Americans. The hippocras of the rich people and their lack of sensitivity has been highlighted in the story. The eyes of T.J Eckelberg which were printed on the billboard represented the level of commercialism hidden in the American dream. The eyes reflect on the emptiness in the life of Gatsby. Although he had earned a huge amount of money through illegal activities, still he lacked the presence of Daisy, the love of his life. The eyes represented different aspects for different people. To George Wilson, the eyes reflected the presence of God's eyes over the people. To Nick, it was the past which always keeps an eye on the present and the future.
