<span>Skloot uses the phrase "by chance" to show Henrietta's uncanny fortune. It showed the serendipity of Henrietta's choosing to go to John Hopkins, because -- as luck would have it -- doctors were currently discussing what, exactly, qualified as cervical cancer, and if such a condition was found, how to treat it. It was as if she chose the perfect time in history to visit. The right people were there; the right topic was the current hot button; she was suffering from the right condition. She could not have been in a better place at a better time had she tried to be.</span>

Which language detail most clearly shows that this story takes place on a railroad in a past era?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

This might be wrong but...

B seems the most old-timey too me.

Explanation:

A coach is normal, though it sounds quite old-timey, and luxurious comforts just mean that Miss Fairchild has money to throw around.

An influx of passengers means that a bunch of people came, and that is quite ususal on a train.

And finally, B. A smoker is a car where passangers are allowed to smoke- which are not that common nowawdays. Also, when you think of smokers, you think of older times.

Again.... this all might be wrong so...  take everything I say with a grain of salt. Or a gallon.
