Answer:
Dahl is talking to the two airmen who helped him and rescued him from cockpit of the Hurricane.
Explanation:
Going Solo is an autobiographical account of Roald Dahl that shares Dahl journey of his traveling to Africa and as a pilot.
In the chapter titled '<u>First Encounter With Bandit</u>', Dahl narrates his story when he was serving as a pilot in Greece when the Germans invaded there. In his chapter, he recalls the account when he was lying paralyzed in the cockpit of his airplane named 'Hawker Hurricane.' His plane crashed and fractured his skull.
He was rescued by two airmen, David Coke and Corporal. So, in this chapter, Dahl is talking to these two airmen, who rescued him from cockpit of the Hurricane.
He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.
Nick describes his place as "an eyesore". This detail shows us that the place he's renting is not nice in comparison to the other homes in West Egg. We also know that he must have some wealth in order to afford to pay eighty dollars a month during this time period. From this excerpt, there is no indication that Nick's choice to live in the small house is temporary or that he seems desperate to become part of the elite society. He may be impressed by material wealth because he describes the proximity of the millionaires as "consoling", so option A is also not a good choice.
