Question

select the correct text in the passage

a writer is using the following text to write a paper about men’s fashion:

adapted excerpt from house decoration
by oscar wilde

and how shall men dress? men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and this it is little matter. i am bound to reply that i agree. i can observe that you do not give much thought to your fashion. in all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that i saw — and in saying this, i dutifully do mean to criticize the trendy men of fifth avenue — were the western miners. their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and their cloaks, which are the most beautiful pieces of drapery ever invented, are worthy of being admired. their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. they wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful.

which sentence in the writer’s paper should the writer revise to include an in-text citation?

men’s fashion isn’t discussed as often as women’s fashion is, but perhaps it should be. most men wear simple outfits consisting of basic pants and shirts. however, there are actually many options available to men, despite the fact that they might not be familiar with certain historical and contemporary fashions. in fact, the nineteenth-century western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high-quality men’s fashion.

Explanation:

The sentence about 19th - century Western miners' fashion ( "In fact, the nineteenth - century Western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high - quality men’s fashion.") uses details from the Wilde excerpt, so it needs an in - text citation.

Answer:

In fact, the nineteenth - century Western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high - quality men’s fashion.
