In this passage the author is trying to

  • A.explain the difference between the construction of the two bridges
  • B.describe the way different sections of people like to dress
  • C.explain the variety of ways in which strangers can be treated
  • D.describe how people of different classes behaved when unhappy

Answer: D

Correct answer: describe how people of different classes behaved when unhappy

The passage sets two groups of unhappy people side by side and contrasts what each does: the lowly spit, keep their backs to the parapet and stare at passers-by; the genteel face the water and never turn at a footstep. The bridges are the setting for that contrast, not its subject.
