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 - related details (winter's night, two years ago), which are key elements of a story's setting (the time and place where events occur).
• 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..."
