Read the passage.

excerpt from Act III, Scene 1, in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

Titania
The summer still doth tend upon my state,
And I do love thee. Therefore go with me.
I’ll give thee fairies to attend on thee,
And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep
And sing while thou on pressèd flowers dost sleep.

How does the language in this excerpt create a sense of place?


A. The word summer and the phrase "from the deep" create a beach setting.


B. The phrases "tend upon my state" and "attend on thee" create a royal setting.


C. The word sing and the phrase "dost sleep" create a bedtime setting.


D.The word fairies and the phrase "fetch thee jewels" create an enchanted setting.

Answer: D) The word fairies and the phrase "fetch thee jewels" create an enchanted setting.

Step-by-step explanation: The setting of a story is the place and/or time where the story takes place. It can also include the context (historical, cultural, political, etc). In the given excerpt from Act III, Scene 1, in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, we can see that Titania's words (for example: "fairies" and "fetch thee jewels from the deep") help to create an enchanted setting in the scene, so the correct answer is option D.
