Read this excerpt from "Life Without Go-Go Boots" by Barbara Kingsolver and answer the question.

We lived in the country, in the middle of an alfalfa field; we had no immediate access to Bobbie Brooks

sweaters. I went to school in the hand-me-downs of a cousin three years older. She had excellent fashion

sense, but during the three-year lag her every sleek outfit turned to a pumpkin.2 ... My black lace-up oxfords,

which my parents perceived to have orthopedic value, carried their own weight in the spectacle. I suspected

people noticed, and I knew it for sure on the day Billy Stamps announced to the lunch line, "Make way for the

Bride of Frankenstein."4

Which of the numbered sentences from the excerpt shows the most commentary and why?

1 - says something about family's social and economic status

2 - is about fairy tales

3- is about medical value of shoes

4- quotes popular culture

Sentence 1 situates us in relation to history. This is because it presents the family's financial situation, showing that they did not have enough money to buy clothes, needing donations from the family, that they donated low quality clothes and that evidenced the family's economic situation, causing embarrassing episodes to the narrator of the text , as Frankenstein's bride compares her on account of the ugly patched clothes and shoes.
