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.

Select one:

Mayor Dee Johnsburger claims that: “the money budgeted for road repairs is inadequate.”

Mayor Dee Johnsburger claims that, “the money budgeted for road repairs is inadequate.”

Mayor Dee Johnsburger claims that, “The money budgeted for road repairs is inadequate.”

Answers

Answer: Use the evidence below to find your answer.

Explanation: Introduce the quotation with a complete sentence and a colon. (Colons follow independent clauses - clauses that could stand alone as sentences and can be used to present an explanation, draw attention to something, or join ideas together.)  

Use an introductory or explanatory phrase, but not a complete sentence, separated from the quotation with a comma.

Make the quotation a part of your own sentence without any punctuation between your own words and the words you are quoting.

Periods and commas ALWAYS go inside quotation marks.

Examples: The sign said, "Walk." Then it said, "Don't Walk," then, "Walk," all within thirty seconds. He yelled, "Hurry up."

plss help!, list 5 reasons why a single sex school should become a co-ed?​

Answers

Answer:

This is coming from a Co-Ed school and having experiences with single-sex schools; Co-Ed schools offer less 'toxicity' in the schooling environment.

Explanation:

Co-Ed schools challenges sexism, as you will find more commonly, in single-sex schools, uniforms do not differ, and do not challenge ideologies of femininity and masculinity, for example, females wearing pants or ties.

In my Co-Ed school, during the Winter, you must wear a tie, and in other schools single sex schools, they usually wear a two piece or dress.

Since you wanted 4 others, I will just list them:

These messages varied from ‘Bread and Work’, aimed at the working class and the fear of unemployment, to a ‘Mother and Child’ poster portraying the Nazi ideals regarding woman.  Jews and Communists also featured heavily in the Nazi propaganda as enemies of the German people.
