(1 point)
\... he pulled the parasol out of the earth with a jerk and was impatient to find the place where one had tea with other people, like other people.\
\... but who knows (so they thought as they pressed the parasol into the earth) what precipices arent concealed in them, or what slopes of ice dont shine in the sun on the other side? who knows? who has ever seen this before?\
\... there was a bill that he would pay with a real two shilling piece, and it was real, all real, he assured himself, fingering the coin in his pocket, real to everyone except to him and to her...\
\the action and the fact that his hand rested on the top of hers expressed their feelings in a strange way, as these short insignificant words also expressed something, words with short wings for their heavy body of meaning...\

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the idea that social class impacts people's sense of reality, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Focuses on finding a tea place, not social class and reality.
• Option 2: Is about existential thoughts on nature, not social class.
• Option 3: The bill paid with a two - shilling piece is "real to everyone except to him and to her". This shows that their social class (implied by their different perception of the coin's reality) affects how they perceive reality. The coin's reality is universal for others but not for them, indicating social class's impact.
• Option 4: Describes non - verbal and verbal expression of feelings, not social class and reality.

Answer:

C. "... [T]here was a bill that he would pay with a real two shilling piece, and it was real, all real, he assured himself, fingering the coin in his pocket, real to everyone except to him and to her..."
