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

Answer:

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