Which two sentences in this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” Judy Jones?

On the Edmentum question these are the options to choose from; 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.

Read the rough-draft paragraph. Studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. Depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. Volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. Other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. Of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. Tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type …
