Which of these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice highlights the condescending attitude of upper-class characters?
1. Her report was highly favourable. Sir William had been delighted with him. He was quite young wonderfully handsome extremely agreeable, and, to crown the
whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love;

others. They were of a respectable tam
of a respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more Seeply impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and
their own had been acquired by trade.
4. The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or prettier girls in his
life, everybody had been most kind and attentive to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss
Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for
none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too
much
