English 11 Help! Giving out points to the best answer!?

Read the following passage from "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and answer questions 31–35.1 When he awoke, it was three o’clock in the afternoon. He bounded up with a start; half of one of2 his precious days gone already! He spent more than an hour in dressing, watching every stage of his3 toilet carefully in the mirror. Everything was quite perfect; he was exactly the kind of boy he had always4 wanted to be.5 When he went downstairs Paul took a carriage and drove up Fifth Avenue toward the Park. The6 snow had somewhat abated; carriages and tradesmen’s wagons were hurrying soundlessly to and fro7 in the winter twilight; boys in woolen mufflers were shoveling off the doorsteps; the avenue stages8 made fine spots of color against the white street. Here and there on the corners were stands, with9 whole flower gardens blooming under glass cases, against the sides of which the snowflakes stuck and10 melted; violets, roses, carnations, lilies of the valley—somehow vastly more lovely and alluring that11 they blossomed thus unnaturally in the snow. The Park itself was a wonderful stage winterpiece.12 When he returned, the pause of the twilight had ceased and the tune of the streets had changed.13 The snow was falling faster, lights streamed from the hotels that reared their dozen stories fearlessly up14 into the storm, defying the raging Atlantic winds. A long, black stream of carriages poured down the15 avenue, intersected here and there by other streams, tending horizontally. There were a score of cabs16 about the entrance of his hotel, and his driver had to wait. Boys in livery were running in and out of17 the awning stretched across the sidewalk, up and down the red velvet carpet laid from the door to the18 street. Above, about, within it all was the rumble and roar, the hurry and toss of thousands of human19 beings as hot for pleasure as himself, and on every side of him towered the glaring affirmation of the20 omnipotence of wealth.21 The boy set his teeth and drew his shoulders together in a spasm of realization; the plot of all22 dramas, the text of all romances, the nerve-stuff of all sensations was whirling about him like the23 snowflakes.From this passage, the reader can infer that Paul (1 point)has been to Fifth Avenue often.was too young to remember being on Fifth Avenue before.had dreamed of being on Fifth Avenue.none of the aboveLines 13 and 14 offer an example of (1 point)allusion.alliteration.simile.onomatopoeia.Lines 22–23 offers an example of (1 point)allusion.alliteration.simile.personification.From this passage, the reader can infer that Paul values (1 point)winter more than summer.roses more than carnations.fantasy more than reality.work more than leisure.Context clues suggest that livery, in line 16, means (1 point)pajama.saddles.grade school.distinctive clothing.
