Read the sentence carefully and choose the best option.

It was a long time since Mrs. Sommers had been fitted with gloves. On rare occasions when she had bought a pair they were always "bargains," so cheap that it would have been

preposterous and unreasonable to have expected them to be fitted to the hand.

• I can infer that Mrs. Sommers had always bought fitted gloves on sale.

• I can infer that Mrs. Sommers was never successful in finding a pair of fitted gloves in bargain.

• The text evidence explains Mrs. Sommers decision to buy a fitted pair of glove which was not on bargain
