Which statement best explains how the phrase "At three paces from her, seated in a chair which he balanced on two legs" impacts the meaning of the story?

1) By describing the scene this way, the reader can get a better understanding of what the men of the Catalans are like.

2) By highlighting the point that Fernand is sitting so close to Mercédès, the author shows us how tenacious he is.

3) By including this information, the reader can tell that Fernand doesn't care about what Mercédès has to say.

4) By showing Fernand is close by and balancing on a chair, the reader gets a glimpse of Fernand's personality.
