Which of the following passages from the novel best describes the setting? (1 point)

I was not frightened, just terribly excited.
The fort looks as though it came out of a storybook, with gun ports along the high wall that faces the sea.
My mother was always afraid I'd fall off the sea wall, or tumble out of a tree, or cut myself with a pocketknife.
Until the past year, my father and I had done a lot of things together.


HELP NOW PLEASE!!!

Answer:

The fort looks as though it came out of a storybook, with gun ports along the high wall that faces the sea.

Step-by-step explanation:

In any story or written text about anything, the "setting" is the location, the place or the stage where the events are unfolded, where things happen. Settings provide a sense of a situation's surroundings, be it the geographical location or the time specifics.

Among the given sentences, the only indication of any place/ location is the second sentence where the speaker talks of "the fort". In this sentence, the speaker gave a description of the fort as something akin to a place out of "a storybook, with gun ports along the high wall that faces the sea".

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
