Read the passage and answer the question that follows. Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) "Isn't she—a pretty girl,

any more?" "Oh, she's all right." "Look here," said Dexter, sitting down suddenly, "I don't understand. You say she was a 'pretty girl' and now you say she's 'all right.' I don't understand what you mean—Judy Jones wasn't a pretty girl, at all. She was a great beauty. Why, I knew her, I knew her. She was—" Devlin laughed pleasantly. "I'm not trying to start a row," he said. "I think Judy's a nice girl and I like her. I can't understand how a man like Lud Simms could fall madly in love with her, but he did." Then he added: "Most of the women like her." Dexter looked closely at Devlin, thinking wildly that there must be a reason for this, some insensitivity in the man or some private malice. "Lots of women fade just like that," Devlin snapped his fingers. "You must have seen it happen. Perhaps I've forgotten how pretty she was at her wedding. I've seen her so much since then, you see. She has nice eyes." A sort of dulness settled down upon Dexter. For the first time in his life he felt like getting very drunk. What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachment to her? A. Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her. B. Dexter feels anger about Judy’s situation and wants to avenge her mistreatment. C. Dexter was deeply in love with Judy and wanted to rescue her from her bad marriage. D. Dexter was more attached to the dream of possessing Judy and did not actually love her.

Answer:

A. Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her.

Explanation:

From the passage of <em>Winter Dreams </em>by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the story is narrated of a girl, Judy who was described as being pretty once but now she has "faded" and is no longer as pretty as she once was.

The line below gives an insight that Dexter once loved Judy but now feels only tenderness and pity towards her because of her relationship with Lud Simms.

<u>"I think Judy's a nice girl and I like her. I can't understand how a man like Lud Simms could fall madly in love with her, but he did." </u>

Please I need help a small example would be nice
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Well for me personally I'd write an essay about when I learned to Ice Skate. It mentions to put it in chronological order, so I'd being with how I was watching figure skating and thinking to myself how easy it looks. It says to include the theme of balance, so I'd most likely mention how difficult it is to skate with your center on two small blades, and the importance of a knee bend. I'd likely add conversations that happened between my mother and I while she helped me to balance myself, and my internal realization that the faster and more comfortable you get, the easier it is.. similar to riding a bike. I'd conclude with how I am still learning how to control my center of balance, and start trying to attempt things like skating on one leg, simple spins, and skating backwards.

I hope I didn't confuse you, and I hope this example helps you with your own essay!

Please let me know if it was helpful :D
