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," is a statement of emotion, not setting.
• The second option, "One winter's night, two years ago...", provides time - related details (winter's night, two years ago) which are part of the setting (the time and place context of a story).
• The third option, "Thompson--the expressman's name was Thompson," is about a character's name, not setting.

Answer:

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