  This information, however, startled Mrs. Bennet: she would have been glad to be equally satisfied that her daughter had meant to encourage him by protesting against his proposals, but she dared not believe it, and could not help saying so.

  Mr. Collins was not left long to the silent contemplation of his successful love; for Mrs. Bennet, having dawdled about in the vestibule to watch for the end of the conference, no sooner saw Elizabeth open the door and with quick step pass her towards the staircase, than she entered the breakfast-room, and congratulated both him and herself in warm terms on the happy prospect of their nearer connection.

  reasoning

  The candidate describes 'The formal offer of marriage made by Mr. Collins to Elizabeth Bennet' with the same proposer and recipient as the source. Although the source mentions 'Chapter XX' and the candidate 'Chapter XIX', both chapters cover the proposal and its immediate aftermath, indicating they refer to the same core event. The descriptions are highly consistent.
