Question

Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies. My posture is consciously congruent to the shape of my hard chair. This is a cold room in University Administration, wood-walled, Remington-hung, double-windowed against the November heat, insulated from Administrative sounds by the reception area outside, at which Uncle Charles, Mr. deLint and I were lately received. Which line from the text provides evidence that Hal is uncomfortable in this setting? I am seated in an office. . . . My posture is consciously congruent. . . . This is a cold room in University Administration. . . . . . . Mr. deLint and I were lately received. . . .

Answer 1

its between "My posture is consciously congruent" and "This is a cold room in University Administration"

Answer 2

The line from the text that provides evidence that Hal is uncomfortable in this setting is My posture is consciously congruent

He mentions that he's chair is hard which means i is not comfortable, therefore if he is consciously congruent, he is in the same way as the char... hard and uncomfortable.

The other phrases are not correct because they describe the atmosphere or the events around.
