Read the following paragraphs from "Behind the Veil." The street, although wide, was inconveniently full of strollers passing to and fro. The situation was not helped by the sleek swift cars, which sped by from time to time. They carried wealthy occupants, young women and ladies, who, protected from the curiosity of the outside world, displayed radiant faces. Their shining gaze roved across the street, smiling or frowning as they took in the sights which pleased or displeased them. Among the surging crowd was an amazing mixture of different clothes and contrasting shapes, which if nothing else, serve to emphasize the varying tastes of these passers-by. A European who had never been to the East before might be excused for thinking that its people were in the middle of a great festival. As time goes by, however, he is moved to say in amazement, 'What long carnival celebrations you have in this country!' Our Western friend would think that people wear these amazing clothes for a festival, just as they would do in his own country. Which of these sentences most effectively summarizes the main ideas in this paragraph?

A. The people of the city were celebrating a festival and wore their most colorful and fashionable clothes in recognition of the holiday.
B. The street was crowded with pedestrians dressed in an array of fashionable clothing that would have made a distinct impression on foreign visitors.
C. There were many people dressed in a variety of colorful fashions crowding the roadways and making it nearly impossible for cars filled with wealthy onlookers to pass by.
D. Europeans and Western visitors would have thought there was a celebration going on in the city because the streets were filled with people who were dressed in festive clothing and who were smiling at all the sights.
