Question

\my aunt will be down presently, mr. nuttel,\ said a very self - possessed young lady of fifteen; \in the meantime you must try and put up with me.\ framton nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. \i know how it will be,\ his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat, \you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. i shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people i know there. some of them, as far as i can remember, were quite nice.\ framton wondered whether mrs. sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division how does the setting influence mr. nuttels expectations about the interaction he is about to have? (1 point) he does not expect the visit among strangers to have much value. he is reminded of a conversation with his sister and expects to meet someone like her. he expects the surroundings to be isolating and depressing. he expects the country people to be unsophisticated and foolish.

Explanation:

The text is from a literary work. The question is about how the setting influences Mr. Nuttel's expectations regarding his visit. Analyzing the text, Mr. Nuttel's sister mentions that he is undergoing a nerve - cure and is supposed to be in a rural retreat. The description of his sister's view on the people (some of them are nice as far as she can remember) and his own doubts ("privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve - cure") imply that he does not expect much from the visits among strangers.

Answer:

He does not expect the visit among strangers to have much value.
