Question

which of the following best summarizes the meaning of sentence 5 (listed above)?
not one of the three could have said, from anything he saw, what either of the other two was like; and each was hidden under almost as many wrappers from the eyes of the mind, as from the eyes of the body, of his two companions.
none of the passengers could discern the appearance or character of the other two passengers.
all of the passengers had witnessed something they were afraid of but could not discuss with each other.
even though the passengers were friends, none of them knew how the others were feeling.
two of the passengers were attempting to conceal what they knew from the third passenger.
the dense fog made it hard for the coachman to keep track of the passengers.

Explanation:

The original sentence states that none of the three could tell what the other two were like (appearance - eyes of the body, character - eyes of the mind) as they were hidden. The first option "None of the passengers could discern the appearance or character of the other two passengers" directly paraphrases this. The second option about witnessing something afraid is not in the original. The third option about being friends is not mentioned. The fourth option about two concealing from one is incorrect as it's all three. The fifth option about fog and coachman is not in the original.

Answer:

None of the passengers could discern the appearance or character of the other two passengers.
