Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A
The passage states, "We jumped into the stage, the driver cracked his whip, and we bowled away and left "the States" behind us.… There was a freshness and breeziness, too, and an exhilarating sense of emancipation from all sorts of cares and responsibilities, that almost made us feel that the years we had spent in the close, hot city, toiling and slaving, had been wasted and thrown away.… We jumped out and stretched our legs every time the coach stopped, and so the night found us still vivacious and unfatigued."
