Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Bernice Bobs Her Hair,” which sentence reveals information about the setting of the story? [When Marjorie and Bernice reached home at half after midnight they said good night at the top of the stairs]. Though cousins, they were not intimates. [As a matter of fact Marjorie had no female intimates—she considered girls stupid]. Bernice on the contrary all through this parent-arranged visit had rather longed to exchange those confidences flavored with giggles and tears that she considered an indispensable factor in all feminine intercourse. [But in this respect she found Marjorie rather cold; felt somehow the same difficulty in talking to her that she had in talking to men]. Marjorie never giggled, was never frightened, seldom embarrassed, and in fact had very few of the qualities which Bernice considered appropriately and blessedly feminine. Bernice felt a vague pain that she was not at present engaged in being popular. [She did not know that had it not been for Marjorie's campaigning she would have danced the entire evening with one man].
