The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Middlemarch by George Eliot: ladies were bending over their work, and now going up
to the fire stood with his back towards it, warming the soles of his slippers.
"Whether it's right to say `superior young men,'" said Mrs. Vincy,
ringing the bell.
"Oh, there are so many superior teas and sugars now. Superior is
getting to be shopkeepers' slang."
"Are you beginning to dislike slang, then?" said Rosamond,
with mild gravity.
"Only the wrong sort. All choice of words is slang. It marks
a class."
"There is correct English: that is not slang."
