In The Great Gatsby, what is the name of Daisy Buchanan's husband?

Nick Carraway
Tom Buchanan
Jay Gatsby
George Wilson

The correct answer is: Tom Buchanan

Tom Buchanan is the correct answer because he is the wealthy, arrogant husband of Daisy Buchanan and an acquaintance of the novel's protagonist, Nick Carraway. Jay Gatsby, while in love with Daisy, is not married to her. George Wilson is the husband of Myrtle Wilson, with whom Tom is having an affair. Nick Carraway is the narrator of the story, not Daisy's husband.
