Aunt agatha says that gussie "'has lost his head over a creature." how do these words reflect her feelings for gussie?
a. they show her concern that gussie is always buying pets.
b. they show her concern that gussie likes america too much.
c. they show her disdain for gussie's lack of self-control.
d. they show her disdain for gussie's sense of friendship.

Letter C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the statement quoted in the question (meaning that Gussie "has lost his head over a creature"), the speaker chooses some very particular words for Aunt Agatha. First of all, the expression (lost one's head) indicates that Gussie has lost self-control because of "a creature". The last word is very important because it means that for Aunt Agatha the object in question is no more than it, an object that does not deserve to be called by its name, showing even more disdain.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
