In this excerpt from emmuska orczy's novel the scarlet pimpernel, which line best represents an element of historical fiction?
a.) he wore the typical scarlet waistcoat, with shiny brass buttons, the corduroy breeches, and grey worsted stockings and smart buckled shoes, that characterised every self-respecting innkeeper in great britain in these days
b.) from every side of the room loud guffaws accompanied pleasant, if not highly intellectual, conversation—while sally's repeated giggles testified to the good use mr. harry waite was making of the short time she seemed inclined to spare him.
c.) they were mostly fisher-folk who patronised mr. jellyband's coffee-room, but fishermen are known to be very thirsty people; the salt which they breathe in, when they are on the sea, accounts for their parched throats when on shore, but "the fisherman's rest" was something more than a rendezvous for these humble folk.
