Question

Read this excerpt from a play.

(The scene opens on a room full of people. There are photographs lining the table, and each one shows the same person at
various stages of life. There are pictures of him as a young boy, other pictures of him on athletic teams, family pictures, and a
graduation picture. That same young man stands in the middle of the room, shaking hands with an adult. He then turns to
address the group.)
JESSE: (loudly) Thank you so much for coming. I am so glad you could all be here today. This is too much. (He looks around,
indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake.)
GUEST: We wouldn't miss it! We heard there would be cake....
JESSE: There is! But first, I want to thank all of you for the support you've given me throughout school. You've helped me
study, earn money, and stay out of trouble, and finish school. (He pauses, stepping in front of the table and looking at his
parents. I could never have done it without you.
Which setting detail reveals the celebratory mood?
"There are photographs lining the table, and each one shows the same person at various stages of life."
"That same young man stands in the middle of the room, shaking hands with an adult."
"He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake."

Answer 1

C is the answer

Answer 2

The setting detail that reveals the celebratory mood is, "He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake''.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Celebratory as the name suggests, is celebrating one’s happy moment publicly. Celebratory mood is simply a feeling of happiness and pride. From the line, “He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake” we can clearly figure out Jesse’s celebratory mood.

The words ‘streamers’, ‘balloons’, ‘cake’ in itself are an indication of contented and cheerful moments being celebrate. When Jesse says ‘thank you all for coming, I’m so glad’, right after this statement the author describes the way Jesse is overwhelmed by looking at all the decorations.
