Read this part of a story about a girl on a quest to find a mythical creature:

Helena crept slowly along the rocky ledge. The ground was hundreds of feet below her, but she kept going forward. Suddenly, there was a terrible screech. She looked up to see a giant, sharp-toothed bird diving toward her. Without pausing to think, she threw her walking stick toward the enormous bird and jumped forward to wedge herself into a little crevice in the cliff face. The bird screeched again and dove toward her; she began to throw rocks at it until it finally gave up and flew away.

Which details from the story tell you about its setting?
A. “Helena crept slowly along the rocky ledge.”
B. “She kept going forward.”
C. “Suddenly, there was a terrible screech.”
D. “She threw her walking stick toward the enormous bird and jumped forward.”

I’d say A. The setting is where and when a story happened, A provides the info that the story is happening on a rocky ledge. So yeah, I’d say it’s A.
