Answer:

The author includes details about Myrtle's spending habits:

B. to show that Myrtle spends Tom's money.

Explanation:

Myrtle and Tom are characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Tom and Myrtle are married, but not to each other. Tom, who is a millionaire, is married to Daisy, who also comes from a rich family. Myrtle, on the other hand, is married to George Wilson, a mechanic and owner of a gas station.

<u>Even though Myrtle is poor, she acts as if she were rich when she is with Tom. It is as if his money is her money. At a certain point in the story, on their way to the apartment Tom bought specially to meet with her, Myrtle has Tom buy her a dog. They then spend the whole day drinking and partying with a group of friends. The author includes these details to show that Myrtle has a sense of ownership when it comes to Tom and his money. She wants comfort and luxury, so she uses her lover's money to obtain them.</u>
