refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of the narrative.
in “goodbye to all that,” joan didion says that when she lived in new york, she was “most comfortable in the company of southerners” because they also viewed their time in new york as temporary.
which textual detail does she include to illustrate their common shared experience?

she mentions that they all had a plane schedule in the drawer, ready to fly back to where they came from on short notice.
she describes how they all had a difficult time finding their way in new york when they first arrived.

Explanation:

The question asks for the detail showing Southerners in New York saw their stay as temporary. Having a pre-planned plane schedule ready to leave on short notice directly demonstrates they did not intend to stay permanently, matching the shared experience described. Other options do not specifically reflect the "temporary" nature of their time in the city.

Answer:

She mentions that they all had a plane schedule in the drawer, ready to fly back to where they came from on short notice.
