Other than the word Paris, the titles and names of the characters are indicative of French culture.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The French people have peculiar name and title. Their spelling and pronunciation are completely different. The French articles attached to the titles are also very different from English as they signify gender and quantity unlike the English ones. As a result the extract can be easily identified as French.
The plot however relates just the story structure. A story-structure doesn’t depict culture. Professions too are not specific to a culture but are generalised. So they don’t offer any clues to being French. The conversations are in English hence they too offer no French bearing.
