Which work is an excerpt from a 2019 novel about a man confined to a hotel?

• A. Orreindy - I'll Wait for the Next One... (2002)
• B. Towles - A Gentleman in Moscow (Excerpt, 2019)
• C. Aymé - The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls (1941)
• D. Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1979)

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing a story by its premise: a man living confined within a hotel. The work that matches this setup is Towles’s A Gentleman in Moscow, presented here as an excerpt from 2019. The novel follows Count Rostov who is effectively confined to the Metropol Hotel in Moscow for decades after the Russian Revolution, and the entire narrative centers on life inside and around the hotel. The other options don’t fit the description: one is not a hotel-centered novel, another is about a man who can walk through walls, and the last is a music album, not a novel.
