Answer 1

The excerpt best develops the setting in the story by showing how easy it is for Arturo to get around the nursing home. This is illustrated by the fact that Arturo is able to walk quickly to Abuelo's room, and the description of the hard vinyl chair by Abuelo's bed suggests that the furniture is not particularly luxurious or comfortable. Additionally, the use of the term "suite" to describe Abuelo's room may imply that it is a nicer room than others in the nursing home, but there is no indication that it is particularly large or fancy. The excerpt does not provide information about Abuelo's happiness or Arturo's discomfort in the nursing home.
