Answer 2

The correct answer is B. "Andrew Brown's print shop smelled of ink and grease and the sweat of muscular apprentices carrying trays of lead type from the composing table to the printing press."

Step-by-step explanation:

The novel Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, focuses on telling the story of a female character called Matilda who faces multiple challenges as the yellow fever epidemic reached Philadelphia in 1793. This story includes some historical facts and it is told by the main character Matilda, which makes the story a first-person narration.

An example of these two features can be seen in the excerpt "Andrew Brown's print shop smelled of ink and grease and the sweat of muscular apprentices carrying trays of lead type from the composing table to the printing press" because, in this, Matilda describes the print shop of Andrew Brown who was a real writer and reported that opened a shop or publishing house in Philadelphia in 1793. This means the author included a historical fact by focusing on the real-life and influence of Andrew Brown.
