The correct answer is: **contrasting Paul's tranquility with the hustle of the street and then introducing his thoughts about the river.**Here's why:* **The passage starts by describing Paul's stillness and tranquility.** He's in bed, listening to the street noises, but not particularly bothered by the passage of time.* **The passage then shifts to a contrast.** It mentions that Paul is "watching" the time, suggesting a slight shift in his focus. This leads into the introduction of his thoughts about the river.The other options are incorrect because:* **Option 1:** The passage doesn't focus on Paul's distress about the river. It simply introduces the thought.* **Option 2:** The passage doesn't narrate a sequence of events in Paul's day. It focuses on a single moment in time. The author uses a simple contrast to structure the passage, highlighting Paul's calmness against the backdrop of the busy street and then subtly introducing his thoughts about the river.
