He brushed the lint off his suit jacket for the fifth time and tugged on his shirt cuffs once more. He surveyed his shoes. Was that a scuff? No, just a trick of the light. He met his own gaze in the mirror, nodded, and took a deep breath. He touched his mother's photo before leaving the room. "Do you believe it, Mama?" he asked. "Your little boy's going to meet the president!" What can Holly infer about Emmett based on the details in this passage?

A. He is unused to wearing a suit.
