Which sentence from the passage supports the idea that Newland Archer always made sure his
behavior was socially acceptable?
A
"There was no reason why the young man should not have come earlier... New
York was a metropolis, and perfectly aware that in metropolises it was 'not the
thing' to arrive early at the opera..."
B
"In matters intellectual and artistic Newland Archer felt himself distinctly the
superior of these chosen specimens of old New York gentility; he had probably
read more, thought more, and even seen a good deal more of the world, than
any other man of the number...."
С
"Then light dawned on him, and with it came a momentary rush of
indignation...the low-toned comments behind him left no doubt in Archer's mind
that the young woman was May Welland's cousin."
D
"He had not gone back to his club after the Opera (as the young bloods usually
did), but, the night being fine, had walked for some distance up Fifth Avenue
before turning back in the direction of the Beaufort's house."
