Question: 250
3. When this passage takes place, the bride and groom are most probably
- A. in a hotel
- B. on a stagecoach
- C. in a diner
- D. on a train
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The story takes place on a train crossing the plains of Texas. You can tell this from the fact that the groom asks his bride, “Have you ever been in a parlor-car before?” and then mentions that they will “go forward to the diner and get a big layout.” Parlor-cars and dining cars are found on trains. Although the passage states that the newly married pair “had boarded this coach at San Antonio,” the coach that is referred to is a car on a train, not a stage coach, so choice B is wrong. The groom mentions that “after a while we’ll go forward to the diner,” but at the time this passage takes place, they have not yet gone to the diner to eat, so choice C is wrong. The couple has already boarded the train, so they cannot be in a hotel (choice A).
