Question

Which of the following sentences are indicators that the setting is in a different place than the United States? "He looked exactly like a Noah's Ark Rhinoceros . . ." ". . . he spiked his cake on the horn of his nose, and he ate it, and he went away, waving his tail, to the desolate and Exclusively Uninhabited Interior . . ." "He waddled straight into the water and blew bubbles through his nose, leaving his skin on the beach."

Answer 1

". . . he spiked his cake

on the horn of his nose, and he ate it, and he went away, waving his tail, to

the desolate and Exclusively Uninhabited Interior . . ."

Step-by-step explanation:

The second sentence specifies "the desolate and exclusively uninhabited interior," which isn't generally trademark of the United States as the inside of the United States is lush fields and swamps where numerous individuals live. Thus, the second sentence is portraying a setting that is in all probability not the United States.

Answer 2

". . . he spiked his cake on the horn of his nose, and he ate it, and he went away, waving his tail, to the desolate and Exclusively Uninhabited Interior . . ."

When we look at the three possible sentences, there are two—the second and the third sentence—that contain descriptions about setting. The third setting talks about water and a beach, but this could really be anywhere; thus, because the United States has beaches, this is probably not the answer. The second sentence, however, mentions “the desolate and exclusively uninhabited interior,” which is not really characteristic of the United States as the interior of the United States is grassy plains and lowlands where many people live. Thus, the second sentence is describing a setting that is most likely not the United States.
