In which of the following excerpts does the author most plainly use setting to contribute to the tone of his story?A."She spoke a few words in a foreign tongue in a tone as though asking a question …"B."But madam, … I cannot possibly leave until I have seen the machine."C."Suddenly a door opened at the other end of the passage, and a long, golden bar of light shot out in our direction."D."He shot one of his suspicious looks at me. 'Perhaps we had better proceed to business, then.'"
The words 'foreign tongue' and 'as though asking a question' suggests that the lady in question has a different nationality from the others. This establish that the setting is a land/nation different from the lady's origin
