I believe the correct answer is It compares an experience to a method of torture.
The author is trying to compare slavery to hell - he isn't comparing it to the actual physical gate, but rather what lies beyond the gate. He thinks slavery, and what slaves had to go through is akin to hell, or at least our depiction of it.

Answer:

B. Wilson's marriage and Gatsby's dream

Explanation:

Tom's mistress was Wilson's wife Myrtle, so it's safe to say that Tom "smashed" Wilson's marriage.

Daisy was torn between Gatsby and Tom, and Gatsby's dream had always been to woo her. When she proved less receptive, he ended up dead in the pool. So it's safe to say that Daisy "smashed" Gatsby's dream.
