As Jordan relates in a flashback, Daisy almost changed her mind about marrying Tom after receiving a letter from Gatsby (an earlier relationship of hers, discussed below), but eventually went through with the ceremony "without so much as a shiver" (4.142).
Daisy appeared quite in love when they first got married, but the realities of the marriage, including Tom's multiple affairs, have worn on her. Tom even cheated on her soon after their honeymoon, according to Jordan: "It was touching to see them together—it made you laugh in a hushed, fascinated way. That was in August. A week after I left Santa Barbara Tom ran into a wagon on the Ventura road one night and ripped a front wheel off his car. The girl who was with him got into the papers too because her arm was broken—she was one of the chambermaids in the Santa Barbara Hotel" (1.143).

Answer:
What the author is implying by the allusion to Albert Einstein is:
A. Like Einstein, bees are intelligent and can perform intellectual tasks.
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the very beginning of the passage:
<em>they are easy to breed and are considered the “Einstein” of the insect world. These striped geniuses perform intellectual feats that cannot be taken for granted, even among mammals.</em>
<u>The lines above already tell us what we need to know. The allusion to Einstein was used as a way to say that bees are intelligent creatures. That is how allusions work. An author alludes to something or someone widely known so as to bring something to readers' minds. In this case, everyone who has ever heard of Einstein associates his name with intelligence</u>. After the allusion, the author proceeds to list some of the amazing tasks and abilities bees have. Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the best choice: Like Einstein, bees are intelligent and can perform intellectual tasks.
