Discussion

Explanation:

To quote from the second and the third paragraphs, “These large gatherings will be only what we make of them if not anything better; they can be as good places to collect new friends from as the slave-markets of Istanbul were for beautiful slaves or New Market for race horses. But they do offer more immediate enjoyment.” Here, the ‘they’ (in bold) clearly refers to large gatherings (option 1).
The author does refer to intimate meetings with friends in the second paragraph but they he/she moves to large gatherings where one gets to meet strangers. Therefore, options 2, 3 and 4 are ruled out. 

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
