Exercise 155This passage is excerpted from Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey, originally published in 1803.Line5101520253035404550Mrs. Allen was so long in dressing that they did not enter the ballroom till late. As for Mr. Allen, he repaired directly to the card-room. With more care for the safety of her new gown than for the comfort of her protegee, Mrs. Allen made her way through the throng of men by the door, as swiftly as the necessary caution would allow; Catherine, however, kept close at her side, and linked her arm too ?rmly within her friend's to be torn asunder by any common effort of a struggling assembly. Still they moved on—something better was yet in view; and by a continued exertion of strength and ingenuity they found themselves at last in the passage behind the highest bench. It was a splendid sight, and she began, for the ?rst time that evening, to feel herself at a ball: she longed to dance, but she had not an acquaintance in the room.Catherine began to feel something of disappointment—she was tired of being continually pressed against by people, the generality of whose faces possessed nothing to interest, and with all of whom she was so wholly unacquainted that she could not relieve the irksomeness of imprisonment by the exchange of a syllable with any of her fellow captives. They saw nothing of Mr. Allen; and after looking about them in vain for a more eligible situation, were obliged to sit down at the end of a table, at which a large party were already placed, without having anything to do there, or anybody to speak to, except each other.Mrs. Allen congratulated herself, as soon as they were seated, on having preserved her gown from injury. \have been very shocking to have it torn,\not it? It is such a delicate muslin. For my part I have not seen anything I like so well in the whole room, I assure you.\\have a single acquaintance here!\\is very uncomfortable indeed.\\look as if they wondered why we came here—we seem forcing ourselves into their party.\\large acquaintance here.\\\them directly. The Skinners were here last year—I wish they were here now.\\for us, you see.\\think we had better sit still, for one gets so tumbled in such a crowd! How is my head, my dear? Somebody gave me a push that has hurt it, I am afraid.\\you sure there is nobody you know in all this multitude of people? I think you must know somebody.\60657075\acquaintance here with all my heart, and then I should get you a partner. I should be so glad to have you dance. There goes a strange-looking woman! What an odd gown she has got on! How old-fashioned it is! Look at the back.\After some time they received an offer of tea from one of their neighbours; it was thankfully accepted, and this introduced a light conversation with the gentleman who offered it, which was the only time that anybody spoke to them during the evening, till they were discovered and joined by Mr. Allen when the dance was over.\had an agreeable ball.\\hide a great yawn.\we could have got a partner for her. I have been saying how glad I should be if the Skinners were here this winter instead of last; or if the Parrys had come, as they talked of once, she might have danced with George Parry. I am so sorry she has not had a partner!\\consolation.QUESTION 1 OF 11The main purpose of the ?rst paragraph is to???????????????? A establish the distant relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Allen.
