Answer:

She is at a formal party.

She is elegantly dressed.

Explanation:

Dorothy Parker's short story <em>Arrangement in Black and White</em> is set during a dinner party where our protagonist is in conversation with the host of the party. The party, hosted for the main guest Walter Williams, was a black man who is a musician. The "woman with the pink velvet poppies" admires Mr. Williams but her husband does not approve, for Mr. Williams is black. The whole plot of the story revolves around the theme of race and class difference, which even the woman seems to exhibit though she kept on implying she isn't like her husband.

The lines given in the question are from the first paragraph of the story. The speaker introduces our protagonist as a <em>"woman with the pink velvet poppies wreathed round the assisted gold of her hair"</em>. Considering her appearance and how she <em>"traversed the crowded room at an interesting gait"</em>, moving towards the host, we can assume that she is in a formal party and so, she will also be elegantly dressed.

What are examples of author's craft in The Illustrated Man?
mezya [45]

Bradbury has a straightforward writing style that seeks to evoke a sense of wonder through two seemingly opposed concerns: the careful construction of mundane details and a sharp eye for vividly capturing imaginative flights of fancy. Combined, they create Bradbury's signature style, finding wonder in everyday life by using fantastic / unrealistic elements to highlight the vagaries of human nature. Often, this means the stories are built on simply constructed sentences --declarative, often distanced from the subject it describes - with dramatically timed lapses into a more florid, poetic writing style when a character comes to grips with a new experience, such as the rocket flight of "The Rocket".
