Exercise 455This passage is excerpted from Louisa May Alcott, Rose in Bloom, originally published in 1876.Line5101520253035404550Three young men stood together on a wharf one bright October day awaiting the arrival of an ocean steamer with an 60impatience which found a vent in lively skirmishes with a small lad, who pervaded the premises like a will-o'-the-wisp and afforded much amusement to the other groups assembled there.\65been abroad several years with her uncle, the doctor,\whispered one lady to another as the handsomest of the young men touched his hat to her as he passed, lugging the boy, whom he had just rescued from a little expedition down among the piles.70\\promising of the seven, but a little fast, people say,\answered the ?rst speaker with a shake of the head. \others his brothers?\75\man. He has just gone into business with the merchant uncle and bids fair to be an honor to his family. The other, with the eyeglasses and no gloves, is Mac, the odd one, just out of college.\\\pet of the whole family. Mercy on us he'll be in if they don't hold on to him!\The ladies' chat came to a sudden end just there, for by the time Jamie had been ?shed out of a hogshead, the steamer hove in sight and everything else was forgotten. As it swung slowly around to enter the dock, a boyish voice shouted, \Cousin Rose!\by Jamie as he stood on a post waving his arms like a windmill while his brother held onto the tail of his jacket.Yes, there they were, Uncle Alec swinging his hat like a boy, with Phebe smiling and nodding on one side and Rose kissing both hands delightedly on the other as she recognized familiar faces and heard familiar voices welcoming her home.\Madonna doesn't she? with that blue cloak round her, and her bright hair ?ying in the wind!\watched the group upon the deck with eager eyes.\much, but Phebe has. Why, she's a regular beauty!\Archie, staring with all his might at the dark-eyed young woman with the brilliant color and glossy black braids shining in the sun.\was all Mac said, but he was not looking at \as he made the fervent remark, for he saw only the slender blond girl nearby and stretched out his hands to meet hers, forgetful of the green water tumbling between them.During the confusion that reigned for a moment as the steamer settled to her moorings, Rose looked down into the four faces upturned to hers and seemed to read in them something that both pleased and pained her. It was only a glance, and her own eyes were full, but through the mist of happy tears she received the impression that Archie was about the same, that Mac had decidedly improved, and that something was amiss with Charlie. There was no time for observation, however, for in a moment the shoreward rush began, and before she could grasp her traveling bag, Jamie was clinging to her like an ecstatic young bear. She was with dif?culty released from his embrace to fall into the gentler ones of the elder cousins, who took advantage of the general excitement to welcome both blooming girls with affectionate impartiality. Then the wanderers were borne ashore in a triumphal procession, while Jamie danced rapturous jigs before them even on the gangway.Archie remained to help his uncle get the luggage through the Custom House, and the others escorted the damsels home. No sooner were they shut up in a carriage, however, than a new and curious constraint seemed to fall upon the young people, for they realized, all at once, that their former playmates were men and women now.QUESTION 1 OF 11Which choice best summarizes the passage?????????????????
