When I think of the hometown of my youth, all that I seem to remember is dust – the brown, crumbly dust of late summer – arid, sterile, dust that gets into the eyes and makes them water, gets into the throat and between the toes of bare brown feet.

Which story element does the excerpt above best develop?

Answer:

Setting

Step-by-step explanation:

The story element that this excerpt best develops is setting. The excerpt describes the location in which the story takes place. We learn that the story takes place in the speaker's hometown. We also learn some details about the town. We know that it is very dusty, arid and sterile. We also know that the dust is extremely annoying, as it gets into the eyes and throat.
