As Jake walks down the Boulevard for "coffee and brioche," he notices the daily life of others around him: students heading to school, vendors selling their wares, tourist exploring the city, the tram loaded with people going to work. Jake observes these activities while leisurely reading his paper and enjoying a cigarette. After reaching his office, he reads the morning papers and works until 11 a.m. He calls it a day and shares a cab with Krum and Woolsey. Krum declares that he has been too busy to visit Jake (at either his apartment or in a nightclub) or even play tennis on the weekends; he is a family man, and his wife and kids take up his free time. Woolsey, like Krum, declines Jake's offer to have a morning cocktail; Woolsey has deadlines to meet later that day. It is clear that though Jake may be good at his job, he finds it boring, and he treats it as a mere sideline for his neverending stops at Parisian cafes. While the rest of the city is at work, Jake continues his lost ways.

Answer:
Has just begun to develop survival skills
Explanation:
An excerpt from the story supports that: "As he went along he smelled things, as well, his distended, quivering nostrils carrying to his brain an endless series of messages from the outside world. Also, his hearing was acute, and had been so trained that it operated automatically. Without conscious effort, he heard all the slight sounds in the apparent quiet—heard, and differentiated, and classified these sounds—whether they were of the wind rustling the leaves, of the humming of bees and gnats, of the distant rumble of the sea that drifted to him only in lulls, or of the gopher, just under his foot, shoving a pouchful of earth into the entrance of his hole."
From the above excerpt, we can deduce that Edwin was actually developing his survival skills. In developing his survival skills, his smelling, feeling and hearing organs were alert and firm. When the bear came, Edwin stood firm without running away. He was able to make the bear to leave them. Edwin was building experience and skills which might be relevant.
Answer:
I hope this helps you.
Explanation:
1. It never changes the mood of the story. Happy time= sunny sky. Sad time=rain suddenly appears. Change of season=new part of the story.
2. It makes the story seem unappealing and static.
3. It is unrealistic-people are constantly on the move.
