Answer a or b would be the best.

The answer is:

A."…he has never come suddenly on anything at all in New York as a loiterer, because he has had no time between trains."

B. "Except in rare cases, the man who lives in Mamaroneck or Little Neck or Teaneck, and works in New York, discovers nothing much about the city except the time of arrival and departure of trains and buses, and the path to a quick lunch."

According to the quotations from E. B. White's "Here is New York," people who travel some distance to work on a regular basis in New York do not actually get involved in the city's culture and setting. The reason is they are just too busy dealing with trains and buses timetables instead of taking pleasure in all that New York City has to offer.
