What type of easement does the gas company have on Eloise's prospective property?

  1. Easement appurtenant

  2. Easement by necessity

  3. Easement by prescription

  4. Easement in gross

The correct answer is: Easement in gross

An easement in gross is attached to a specific individual or entity instead of a specific property, and since it pertains to the gas company, it makes it the most suitable type of easement. Option A, easement appurtenant, is incorrect because it attaches to a specific piece of land rather than an individual or entity. Option B, easement by necessity, is incorrect because it is a type of easement used when there is no other reasonable way of accessing a property, which is not the case here. Option C, easement by prescription, is incorrect because it is a type of easement that is gained by continuous and notorious use without permission, which is not relevant in this scenario.
