PLS HELPPPPP!!! 45 POINTS

Read these excerpts from Fever 1793 and The Summer of the Pestilence.

Fiction: Fever 1793

A violent thunderstorm on Sunday cleared the air for a few hours, but when the sun came out Monday, it baked the streets until the rainwater rose in ghostly plumes of steam. I felt like a noodle over-boiled in the stewpot. And the bells continued to toll.

Nonfiction: The Summer of the Pestilence

During dry, warm days, the fever has seemed to spread but slowly; but when these chill northeasterly storms have come, it has taken whole sections of the city in a night.

In what way do the excerpts reveal setting?

A. Both use a character’s point of view to show setting.
B. Both use descriptive details to show setting.
C. Both use figurative language to show setting.
D. Both use facts to show setting.
