Section 2.1 says:

The gateway can then respond for host B,
    saying that the network address for host B is that of the gateway
    itself.

It should say:

The gateway can then respond for host A,
    saying that the network address for host B is that of the gateway
    itself.

Notes:

I'm a bit confused about the sentence :) I think there should be "A" instead of "B". Next phrase says that host A sees a reply message from gateway, therefore gateway have to send that reply message to A in the previous sentence.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Since A and B are on separate networks, the gateway responds *on behalf of host B*.
