Explanation: In the given excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams"  we can see that Judy is very sad because she thinks she can not be happy despite her beauty, also she asks Dexter to marry her even when she thinks he is not interested in her. This details express the idea that those in the upper classes only value surface appearances and also that udy values only her own desires because she is immature and self-absorbed.

The answer is indeed letter C. 1 and 3.

Explanation:

This excerpt of Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" says a lot about the upper class in just a few lines. Criticizing the upper class is a common theme for Fitzgerald; his most famous work, "The Great Gatsby", is all about revealing how rotten the rich are underneath the golden appearance.

This excerpt shows through Judy's character that the upper class values surface appearances and that Judy herself is immature and self-absorbed. Judy is a very wealthy girl who has never had to work hard - or work at all - to get anything she's ever wanted. She takes it all for granted, including happiness. If she is beautiful and has money, then the only logical assumption she can make is that she deserves to be happy. Also, it does not matter to her what other people may want. Who cares if Dexter does not wish to marry her? She wants to get married (self-absorbed) and she is beautiful (surface appearance), and that should suffice in her opinion.

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
