Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence in this excerpt from "Behold the Brooklyn Bridge" best shows the narrator's young and naive perspective?
"They said it couldn't be done, but they did it," Papa kept repeating, almost like he half believed it himself. We had been hearing about the
building of the Great East River Bridge for years, with its deals gone bad, workers with illnesses, and defiance of something called physics.
We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother
had polished twice.
Soon we were out the door as a family going to walk on a bridge taller than the entire city. There were so many people, but we were
determined. Our modest Brooklyn family was going to walk high up in the air on the miracle of a bridge to Manhattan
The sunshine warmed my shoulders as we joined the masses of people walking toward the river. I stretched onto my tiptoes to see the swarm
of boats gathering underneath the bridge up ahead. I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me. "There it is!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, there's the Great East River Bridge," Papa said looking down at me.

Answer:

We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.

Explanation:

With this quote from the passage, it shows that they don't really know what is happening around them, things are happening and they are kind of just, "going with the flow" in a sense. They don't understand why they are getting all dressed up, they don't even know what the celebration was about.

The story of Behold the Brooklyn Bridge represents historical fiction as the author has used a fictional character to describe the scenario of the opening day of Brooklyn Bridge in history.

The correct option is the second one that is "We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice."

The passage shows that the characters are not aware of the event happening around them. However, they are just going with the flow as prescribed with parents. They were getting dressed up without having the knowledge about the actual reason behind the celebration.
