Which 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 ment

The correct answer in PLATO is as follows:


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.

The correct answer should be Dexter surrendered a part of himself to the most direct and unprincipled personality with which he had ever come in contact.

That is the correct answer because her personality is not really one that is appealing to people since she's unprincipled and direct, which shows that he was into her because of her charms.
