Question

Manuela is working on visualizing the setting in this excerpt from "Nothing but Net.”

The neighborhood didn’t feel the same, though. The shoebox-sized store on the corner was closed because Mr. Hallas, the owner, had moved to Florida.

Which descriptive language did Manuela most likely connect with to help her visualize the setting?

the neighborhood didn’t
shoebox-sized store
closed because
had moved to

Answer 1

The correct answer is "shoebox-sized store"

Explanation:

The setting includes the place where a story occurs and this is related to the geographical features of the place such as the existence of mountains or a forest, the location of the place, and even the buildings in this place. Moreover, this setting is explained to the reader by using descriptive language that allows the reader to imagine or visualize a location. This is better exemplified in "shoebox-sized store" because this detail refers to the buildings in this place, which is part of the setting, and it allows the reader to imagine the specific store by using words that explain the store is rather small.
