Read the excerpt from chapter 29 of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

The dinner was exceedingly handsome, and there were all the servants and all the articles of plate which Mr. Collins had promised; and, as he had likewise foretold, he took his seat at the bottom of the table, by her ladyship’s desire, and looked as if he felt that life could furnish nothing greater. He carved, and ate, and praised with delighted alacrity; and every dish was commended, first by him and then by Sir William, who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his son-in-law said, in a manner which Elizabeth wondered Lady Catherine could bear.

Which phrase from the excerpt identifies a cultural aspect of the setting?

“The dinner was exceedingly handsome”
“and there were all the servants”
“and every dish was commended, first by him and then by Sir William”
“who was now enough recovered to echo whatever his son-in-law said”
