Explanation:

To determine why Layla thinks living in the 1970s would be great, we analyze the text. The passage mentions "no round - the - clock texting, no jostling for 'likes' on social media, no high - speed Internet" in the 1970s world she imagines. This implies a slower, less hurried lifestyle.

• Option 1: The text only says the 1970s is her favorite decade for fashion, but there's no direct comparison of dressing better.
• Option 2: There is no mention of beach time in the text.
• Option 3: The absence of modern, time - consuming (in terms of constant connectivity) technologies like round - the - clock texting and high - speed Internet suggests a less hurried life, which matches this option.
• Option 4: The text has a description of disco music in her dream, but no comparison of music quality between eras.

Answer:

She thinks people were less hurried then.
