<p>I’m watching Sesame Street with my daughter. Today Grover has transported us to Alaska, where a local lass is suiting up to face the Arctic chill, with the help of her mother, who sews fur pelts together to fashion a coat to repel the subzero temperatures. The child rushes out into the crisp fresh air to meet other children, laughing sweetly. It looks so wholesome, so simple, so uncomplicated. No FANCY SCHOOLS to get into, no APARTMENT to compare. It looked pleasant there, out in the bleak but weirdly alluring of glistening frost punctuated only by playful tykes toting their homemade lunches to school in swinging buckets</p>

<p>Question: In context, the references to “fancy schools” and “apartments” serve to
(A) illustrate the glamour of urban environments
(B) suggest some concerns the narrator may have</p>

<p>How come the answer is (B) ? I don’t see anything from the text that says the author is concerning about urban environments.</p>

<p>B doesn’t refer to urban environments. It just refers to “concerns the narrator may have.” These would seem to be the challenge of getting into fancy schools and comparing apartments. It’s clearly not A, since it puts the urban environments in a negative light by comparison, as opposed to illustrating their glamour.</p>
