Select the correct text in the passage.
Which three sentences in this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" show that Dexter's interest in Judy Jones has more to do with her
beauty than her personality?
It began like that and continued, with varying shades of intensity, on such a note right up to the denouement. Dexter surrendered a part of himself
to the most direct and unprincipled personality with which he had ever come
in contact. Whatever Judy wanted, she went after with the full pressure
of her charm. There was no divergence of method, no jockeying for position
or premeditation of effects-there was a very little mental side to any of
her affairs. She simply made men conscious to the highest degree of her
physical loveliness. Dexter had no desire to change her. Her deficiencies
were knit up with a passionate energy that transcended and justified
them.
When, as Judy's head lay against his shoulder that first night, she whispered, "I don't know what's the matter with me. Last night I thought I was in
love with a man and to-night I think I'm in love with you--
it seemed to him a beautiful and romantic thing to say.

Answer :

In the excerpt from "Winter Dreams," the three sentences that show Dexter's interest in Judy Jones is more focused on her beauty rather than her personality are: 1. "Whatever Judy wanted, she went after with the full pressure of her charm." 2. "There was no divergence of method, no jockeying for position or premeditation of effects - there was a very little mental side to any of her affairs." 3. "She simply made men conscious to the highest degree of her physical loveliness." These sentences indicate that Dexter is captivated by Judy's physical attractiveness and the way she uses her charm to get what she wants, rather than being drawn to her personality or inner qualities. Dexter's fascination with Judy seems to stem more from her external beauty and seductive nature than from any deeper connection or intellectual compatibility.
