Question

Because the road from Adan’s home to the village was marked by deep wagon ruts, he had to walk in the high grass on either side. Which words tell you that this story is set far in the past?

Answer 1

"Wagon ruts"

Step-by-step explanation:

Wagon ruts are indents left in paths by wagon wheels (like modern-day tire marks in mud). People don't commonly use wagons to travel anymore, so the story is probably set before the widespread popularity and affordability of automobiles.
