I tried to think about Gatsby then for a moment, but he was already too far away, and I could only remember, without resentment,

that Daisy hadn't sent a message or a flower. Dimly I heard some one murmur "Blessed are the dead that the rain falls on," and then the owl-eyed man said "Amen to that," in a brave voice.
Based on this excerpt, which best explains the irony of the title The Great Gatsby?

A. In bearing no resentment toward Daisy, Nick responds in an unexpected way.
B. Rain on the day of Gatsby's funeral underscores the sadness of the occasion.
C. Daisy, the object of Gatsby's pursuit, does not even acknowledge his death.
D. Gatsby's greatness is expressed by the prayer murmured at his funeral.

Answer:

C. Daisy, the object of Gatsby's pursuit, does not even acknowledge his death.

Explanation:

Here, the gathering of people knows about Gatsby's great love for Daisy. The suggestion all through the book is that he would have thoroughly took care of her. In any case, in spite of what the crowd expects, Daisy appears to think almost no about his demise. This is inferred when we discover that Daisy did not go to Gatsby's burial service, nor did she sent a rose or a message.
