Question

which of the following citations indicates an example o setting? \i was greatly shocked and grieved,\ \one winters night, two years ago...\ \thompson--the expressmans name was thompson,\

Explanation:

To determine which citation indicates setting, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("I was greatly shocked and grieved") shows emotions, so it's related to mood or tone, not setting.
• The second option ("One winter's night, two years ago...") provides time and season details, which are key elements of a story's setting (time and place context).
• The third option ("Thompson--the expressman's name was Thompson") introduces a character, so it's about characterization, not setting.

Answer:

B. "One winter's night, two years ago..."
