Explanation:

First Question (About the green light's meaning to Gatsby)

In "The Great Gatsby", the green light on Daisy's dock symbolizes Gatsby's dream and hope for a future with Daisy. The other options (hydroplane landing, swimming safety, tribute to war companions) are not related to the symbolic meaning of the green light in the novel.

The line "The vitality of his illusion had gone beyond Daisy - beyond everything" refers to how Gatsby's years of dreaming about Daisy made her seem larger - than - life, not just a person but a symbol of his hopes. The other options (becoming manic, disappointment, mental instability) do not capture the essence of how Gatsby's illusion grew to make Daisy more than herself.

Answer:

C. It stood for his vision of his future with Daisy.
