To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her
under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her
sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions,
and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced
mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the
world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He
never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable
things for the observer-excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions.
But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely
adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a
doubt upon all his mental results.
What can the reader infer from this paragraph, narrated by Holmes's friend, Dr.
Watson?

F) Holmes places the highest value on observing and reasoning without emotion, and
he admires Irene Adler in some way.
G) Holmes hopes to marry Irene Adler and wants Watson's help in contacting her.
H) Holmes claims to be reasonable, but Watson isn't sure what that means.
J) Holmes owns a "reasoning and observing" machine.
