Question

1. which line from the poem best shows that it takes place in a different time period than today? \december. / frost cracking / beneath my steps\ \i took the nickel from / my pocket, then an orange, / and set them quietly on / the counter\ \the first time i walked / with a girl, i was twelve\ \and when she lifted a chocolate / that cost a dime\

Explanation:

In modern - day, prices like a dime for a chocolate are not common. This indicates a different time period. The other lines do not give clear time - period clues.

Answer:

"And when she lifted a chocolate / That cost a dime"
