The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
Answer
T
They are people of exquisite taste and refinement, who have spent a fortune on the decorations of their home.
T
The image of luxury and elegance that they project is unstable like the wind blowing through the room.
T
The Buchanans have fallen on desperate times and are trying to mask their financial collapse from friends.
L
Like the open windows of their house, the Buchanans openly embrace new people and new ideas.
Explanation
The description makes the Buchanan home seem elegant, but the breeze keeps disturbing its curtains and casting shifting shadows across the rug. Those unstable images suggest that the luxury and elegance the Buchanans project may be only a fragile appearance. Choice B best captures that contrast; the passage does not say they are financially desperate or especially welcoming of new ideas.
