Question

Which excerpt from “Marigolds” best illustrates an explicit example of setting?

I remember only the dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of the shantytown where I lived.
I feel again the chaotic emotions of adolescence, illusive as smoke.
“Hey, Lizabeth,” Joey yelled. He never talked when he could yell. “Hey, Lizabeth, let’s go somewhere.”
The years have taken me worlds away from that time and that place.

Answer 1

The correct answer for this question would be the first option. Based on the definition of setting, it is the time and place of action in a story. So the  excerpt from “Marigolds” that best illustrates an explicit example of setting would be this: I remember only the dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of the shantytown where I lived. Hope this answer helps.
