This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

At what point in "The Nose" does the story shift from reality to fantasy?

1.when Major Kovalev enters the apartment building .

2.when Major Kovalev gets dressed in his pajamas  .

3.when Major Kovalev gets out of bed in the morning .

4.when Major Kovalev hurries down the street.

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. When Major Kovalev gets out of bed in the morning .

Explanation:

In the story "The Nose" the moment a jump from reality to fantasy occurs is a morning when Major Kovalev wakes up and gets out of bed.

At this time he was doing the same thing every morning, but this time he asked for a mirror because he wanted to check a pimple that had come out the night before and it was there when he saw that he had no nose, but an absolutely flat surface.

Even after drinking water and pinching himself to make sure he was wide awake, he still had no nose.

That's when the shift from fantasy to reality occurs.
