다음 글을 쓴 작가가 장난감을 살펴본 이유로 가장 적절한 것은?
The first hint of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more aware of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the approaching birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending modest gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate, and looked at the confusing collection of unappealing objects.

The toy smelled like the writer's niece.

The toy was as charming as the writer's niece.

The birthday of the writer's niece was around the corner.

The writer was impressed by the low prices and wide selection.

작가가 장난감을 살펴본 이유는 "The birthday of the writer's niece was around the corner."(조카의 생일이 다가왔다)이다.
작가는 "the approaching birthday of a small niece of mine"(다가오는 어린 조카의 생일)를 떠올렸고, "Therefore, I stopped and examined the window"라며 적당한 선물을 찾으려 멈춰 섰다.
"The toy smelled like the writer's niece."는 글의 냄새(street smells) 묘사가 거리 풍경일 뿐 조카와 무관하므로 맞지 않다.
"The toy was as charming as the writer's niece."는 장난감이 "unappealing"(매력 없는)하다는 서술과 반대이다.
"impressed by the low prices and wide selection"은 진열품이 "poor collection"이라는 서술과 맞지 않는다.
