How does the following description of the store help build the central idea?

"The old store, lighted only by three fifty-watt bulbs, smelled of coal oil and baking bread."

Question 9 options:

The description creates an inviting setting that draws the reader into the store and challenges the reader to image the store.


With such a description, the author demonstrates a profound ability to construct a realistic setting that brings a town, such as Nameless, to life.


With an appeal to the reader's senses, the store becomes a reality and the people in it become like neighbors and friends.


By appealing to the reader's sense of sight and smell, the author creates a personality for the people and town that is humble, but pleasant.
