Question

I need help please, which of the following quotes best describe the setting of the story: a) I knew that there was something sinister about the house from the moment I set foot through its creaky doors b) Fog had enveloped the old stone house and its vast property populated with overgrown grass and unmanaged weeds. c) White eyelet curtains, fresh flowers, new oak cabinets, and polished hardwood floors were just a few of the renovations I made d) I started to feel at home, as did the kitten I adopted, Bobbles, but the house didn’t seem quite as happy with its facelift.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A) is in first person so allows readers to feel more engaged, as though they are also experiencing the same thing as the narrator. Because it already states the bad issue, readers may feel curious as they are already told what is happening. B) builds up suspense and creates an eerie and descriptive setting of the area. This allows readers to imagine the setting in their heads. C) gives a positive description of the inside of a home in a listed format. D) is not a description of a setting but more of a statement of the narrator's feelings.

Although C describes the setting, B gives a much more in depth description the setting and therefore is better.
