Read these lines: "A new-comer of any age or either sex was an impressive curiosity in the poor little shabby village of St. Petersburg. This boy was well dressed, too. His cap was a dainty thing, his close-buttoned blue cloth roundabout was new and natty, and so were his pantaloons. He had a citified air about him that ate into Tom s vitals." As used in the quoted lines, "citified" most nearly means

1. The word is used of a boy whose cap is dainty and whose clothes are new and natty. 2. The setting he stands in is named as a poor little shabby village, so he is the opposite of his surroundings. 3. The word therefore has to mean something like town polish carried into a country place, option C. 4. Option D reverses the description, since the clothes are new rather than falling apart. 5. Option A would suit a traveller, but nothing in the quoted lines is said about a journey. _Source: Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), public domain_
