Explanation:

The American Dream emphasizes achieving success (like financial and social status) through effort. The Great Gatsby's narrator moves to New York City to gain financial and social status, which aligns with the American Dream theme. The Stranger focuses on a character's indifference to society, Dune is about politics and ecology on a distant planet, and 1984 is a dystopian novel about limiting freedom—none of these directly relate to the American Dream.

Answer:

The Great Gatsby
