Answer 2

The correct answer regarding the statements made in the excerpt about the upper-class world focuses on the values of appearance and self-absorption within the character of Judy. The correct option is O c. 1 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" provides insight into the values of the upper-class society that Judy inhabits and Dexter aspires to join. Judy expresses her belief in her own beauty, which suggests that surface appearances hold great value in her world.

Although Judy's statement could be interpreted as coming from a place of self-absorption and immaturity, it does not explicitly indicate that the upper class does not understand love or that they typically have unhappy marriages. Therefore, the correct answer reflecting the statements made about the upper-class in this excerpt would include the idea that those in the upper classes value appearance and might suggest that Judy's character is self-absorbed.
