The Windy Evening

Clara and her sisters May and Kiara had come to Ohio to visit their grandparents. After spending the day baking cookies with their grandmother, the three sisters were sitting by the fireplace and teaching their grandpa how to use his new cell phone.
Suddenly, they heard the windows rattle. A strong wind was blowing and Clara rushed to shut the windows. She was tempted to peek out of the window for a moment. There, in the dim light, she saw a tall figure in a long coat and a hat walking past the gate, but a second later, she saw the figure move toward their house. Clara gestured to her sisters to come to the window and pointed at the person approaching. Their hearts skipped a beat when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who could it be at this hour?" they wondered, before saying it aloud.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in this excerpt from f. scott fitzgerald's "winter dreams" seem to foreshadow dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” judy jones? now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained. they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.
