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.

In the passage from "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, three sentences that show Dexter's interest in Judy Jones is more focused on her beauty than her personality are:

1. "She simply made men conscious to the highest degree of her physical loveliness."
- This sentence highlights how Judy's primary impact on men, including Dexter, is through her physical attractiveness.

2. "Her deficiencies were knit up with a passionate energy that transcended and justified them."
- This sentence suggests that even though Judy may have shortcomings or flaws, Dexter finds them acceptable due to her intense and captivating physical presence.

3. "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.'"
- This sentence indicates that Dexter finds Judy's declarations of love romantic, which could imply that he is more enamored with the idea of being loved by her than with a deep emotional connection based on personality traits.

These sentences collectively show how Dexter's fascination with Judy Jones is primarily rooted in her physical allure rather than a profound emotional or intellectual connection.
