The correct answer is: the police officer lets Gatsby go without any ticket or warning.

Brief explanation: Gatsby flashes a white card that signals influence/status (an official or well-known name), and the officer backs off. The incident illustrates how Gatsby’s (or his associates’) social power lets him avoid consequences.
