Question

2 multiple choice 3 points one of the clearest indications of the ____ of a story is the ____ in which it was written. style, point of view tone, style setting, point of view style, tone

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze literary terms:

• Style refers to the author's unique way of writing (vocabulary, structure, etc.).
• Tone is the author's attitude toward the subject.
• Point of view is the perspective (first, third, etc.) from which the story is told.
• Setting is the time and place of the story.

The sentence structure implies the first blank is a story element indicated by the second blank (the writing's perspective/approach). "Setting" is about time/place, and "point of view" (the perspective) is a key indicator of setting? No—wait, re - evaluating: The clearest indication of the setting (time/place) of a story is the point of view? No, that doesn't fit. Wait, no—let's re - examine the options.

Wait, the correct logical pairing: The "setting" of a story (time, place, context) can be indicated by the "point of view" (how the story is narrated, which can reveal when/where events occur). Let's check the options:

• Option 1: "style, point of view" — Style is the writing style, not directly indicating setting. Eliminate.
• Option 2: "tone, style" — Tone is attitude, style is writing style; tone doesn't indicate style. Eliminate.
• Option 3: "setting, point of view" — The point of view (e.g., a character's narration in a specific time/place) can indicate the setting. This makes sense.
• Option 4: "style, tone" — Style and tone are related to writing style and attitude, not a clear indication of each other in this way. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. setting, point of view
