Question

Which quotation from the excerpt best contributes to the setting of this narrative?

"'But I feel very deeply that this fish which I go and sell, and with the produce of which I buy the flax I spin—I feel very keenly, Fernand, that this is charity.'"

"'Once a soldier, what would you do with me, a poor orphan, forlorn, without fortune, with nothing but a half-ruined hut and a few ragged nets, the miserable inheritance left by the father to my mother, and by my mother to me?'"

"Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."

"At three paces from her, seated in a chair which he balanced on two legs, leaning his elbow on an old worm-eaten table, was a tall young man of twenty, or two-and-twenty, who was looking at her with an air in which vexation and uneasiness were mingled."

Answer 1

The correct answer here would the option C

"Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."

The setting most usually refers to the place and time when the story is happening. When describing the setting above all we are describing the place, and we are providing the story the sense of place. Here we are given the description of a place where two friends sat and drank their wine. The author also uses more than one sense to describe the place.
