When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.

For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.

I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.

So yeah, I'm not 100% sure, but this is the best I can do to figure it out. I think D would be the best choice! :)

Answer:

D. An abandoned mental hospital

Step-by-step explanation:

When one thinks of the word "Gothic", the first thing that comes in mind is the gloomy, scary and eerie feeling it evokes to the readers. So, for a Gothic setting, an abandoned mental hospital will be the best example among the given options. A meadow filled with flowers, a beautiful enchanted forest or a jail yard on a sunny afternoon all gives a sense of positive vibes or feeling while the very term "Gothic" is meant to symbolize anything that is the opposite of anything that is positive or invokes happiness.
