Question

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

Explanation:

To determine which citation is an example of setting, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("I was greatly shocked and grieved,") describes a character's emotions, which is related to characterization or mood, not setting.
• The second option ("One winter's night, two years ago...") provides details about time (winter's night, two years ago), which is a key element of a story's setting (time and place of events).
• The third option ("Thompson--the expressman's name was Thompson,") introduces a character's name, which is part of characterization, not setting.

Answer:

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