Question

Read the excerpt below:

It is in the clay part of Kent, and my bungalow stood on the edge of an old sea cliff and stared across the flats of Romney Marsh at the sea. In very wet weather the place is almost inaccessible, and I have heard that at times the postman used to traverse the more succulent portions of his route with boards upon his feet.
In the excerpt above from The First Men in the Moon, what can the reader infer about the setting?

The story takes place in the past.
The story begins in a busy port city.
The home is in a remote place.
The house is in danger of falling off the cliff.

Answer 1

The home is in a remote place

Answer 2

The home is in a remote place

Step-by-step explanation:

Key parts in the text that explain this is the line "...the place is almost inaccessiable..." and how the description of the setting of the house is shown as being on a sea cliff, looking out onto the sea. That would reccomend that it is the only house in the area, or generallly distant from others.
