in this passage what suggests that women in this scene are not steady

Answer:
B. the imagery of weightlessly
Explanation:
Steady can be defined as: "firmly fixed, supported, or balanced; not shaking or moving."
The women in the excerpt are described as if they are weightless as you can see in this part:
"their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back after a short flight around the house"
