The correct answer is:
3. "Where all had been a leisurely expectancy now all was bustle and confusion."
from ,begin bold,The Voice in the Desert,end bold,
The great Overland,superscript,1,baseline, came rushing into the little station like a black monster, puffing and steaming, its red eye blazing. Far more congruous,superscript,2,baseline, with the landscape would have been a caravan of camels approaching from out the mysterious East. Where all had been a leisurely expectancy now all was bustle and confusion. The supper-bell rung from the balcony above rose superior to all other sounds. The passengers came hurrying out; those who had dined on the train to stroll about the plaza for fresh air.
