PLEASE HELP ME

Read the excerpt from "Home on the Range".


The lack of any sound made it peacefully quiet. The sky was huge and blue, and there was not a cloud in sight. There were some big birds, though. He thought they were hawks. The cool air was still. He could smell a campfire.


Naoki wants to connect with the setting in the excerpt so she can visualize it better. What is the best question for her to ask in order to form a mental picture?


Have I ever started a campfire?

Have I ever seen any big birds, like hawks?

Have I ever been in a wide open space like this?

Have I ever known anyone like Richard Carter?

Answer: "Have I ever been in a wide open space like this?"

Explanation: This question would allow Naomi to paint a visual of what type of environment she is in to support the other aspects of the setting like the quietness and the lack of clouds. The wide open space could point a clue as to where she is (forest clearing, field) and where she is most likely not.
