If korbet is the author:
In this scene Korbet was probably nervous to give his crush Tabby a letter. When Korbet gave his letter to his crush Tabby, She crumpled up his paper (possibly mad at him) and called him a “lugnut”. The author used this scene to show others how he possibly got rejected.
It is likely that Tom picks Myrtle because he thinks she will be an easy woman to control. She is not wealthy, powerful, or socially connected, so she doesn't pose much of a threat to him. Myrtle also readily accepts Tom's fabricated story about being unable to divorce Daisy because "she's a Catholic."
A or c but im not entirely sure im sorry
