it was christmas morning. there was wrapping paper everywhere from the gifts being torn open. the fire was crackling in the fireplace, and the children were happily playing with their new toys. they could smell their mothers traditional cinammon rolls baking in the oven. what is a way this setting affects the plot? it is winter, so the children are eating popsicles to cool down. it is winter, so there is a fire in the fireplace since its cold outside. it is winter, so the children are wearing shorts.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The text describes a Christmas morning scene. In winter, having a fire in the fireplace due to cold weather is a logical setting - plot connection. Eating popsicles in winter (when it's cold) is illogical. Wearing shorts in winter (when it's cold) is also illogical.
Answer:
It is winter, so there is a fire in the fireplace since it's cold outside.
