Salvatore May · Answer 1

They will go to great lengths for the women they love.

Explanation:

The text shows that the Christian names of Jack and Algernon are a big impediment to getting them together with the women they love, but they are willing to change those names and deny their religions as long as it allows them to be with women which they love. With this we can conclude that the correct answer is " They will go to great lengths for the women they love."
