Which inference is best supported by the passage below: Mr. Ratignolle was one of those men who are called the salt of the earth
. His cheerfulness was unbounded, and it was matched by his goodness of heart, his broad charity, and common sense. He and his wife spoke English with an accent which was only discernible through its un-English emphasis and a certain carefulness and deliberation. Edna's husband spoke English with no accent whatever. The Ratignolles understood each other perfectly. If ever the fusion of two human beings into one has been accomplished on this sphere it was surely in their union. As Edna seated herself at table with them she thought, "Better a dinner of herbs," though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying. a)There was considerable social pressure in New Orleans at the time to speak English. b) Edna can’t help but compare the Ratignolles’ blissful marriage to her own. c) The Ratignolles’ marriage has never had any problems or strife. d) French cuisine is widely considered to be among the finest in the world.
Explanation: A cannot be the answer because the paragraph doesn't discuss this. B isn't the answer because Edna does not describe her marriage. D isn't the answer because French cuisine is not the focus of the paragraph.
As Edna seated herself at table with them she thought, "Better a dinner of herbs," though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying.
