Read this excerpt from “Life Without Go-Go Boots” by Barbara Kingsolver and answer the question. We lived in the country, in the middle of an alfalfa field; we had no immediate access to Bobbie Brooks sweaters.1 I went to school in the hand-me-downs of a cousin three years older. She had excellent fashion sense, but during the three-year lag her every sleek outfit turned to a pumpkin.2 … My black lace-up oxfords, which my parents perceived to have orthopedic value, carried their own weight in the spectacle.3 I suspected people noticed, and I knew it for sure on the day Billy Stamps announced to the lunch line, “Make way for the Bride of Frankenstein.”4

Which of the numbered sentences from the excerpt shows the most immediacy and why?

4 – draws us into the scene
3 – mentions her parents’ thoughts
