Answer 1

Answer:

Gray Stone Cliffs, and Sparkling clear spring

Explanation:

These describe the setting because the setting describe the place around him and the atmosphere here you can see he is near some gray stone cliffs with a sparkling clear spring nearby. Making this place sound calm and pretty, if he had said muddy brown spring with gray crumbling stone cliffs. It would have made the place sound old and gross rather than what it is.
