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>

What are the pros and cons of each type of news source? Which type of news source is more reliable, independent or mainstream? W
Lena [83]
There are pros and cons to every news source which is why it is important to look at both sides. In terms of politics (although politics pretty much applies to everything else) there is the right-wing news and the left-wing news. Each presents a story that fits their narrative including only the facts that support their opinions; keep in mind it is illegal to report a false story with false facts so news outlets must be careful when reporting the news in order to shed light on what they think is "right". No news source is 100% reliable which is why it is important to read the same story from multiple different sources from both sides in order to get all the facts. This way you can form your own assessment of the outcome of the story rather than being brainwashed into believing in one thing or another.
