Question

The only room visible in the KELLER house is ANNIE'S, where by lamplight ANNIE in a shawl is at a desk writing a letter; at her bureau HELEN in her customary unkempt state is tucking her doll in the bottom drawer as a cradle, the contents of which she has dumped out, creating as usual a fine disorder. ANNIE mutters each word as she writes her letter, slowly, her eyes close to and almost touching the page, to follow with difficulty her penwork. ANNIE: ". . . And, nobody, here, has, attempted, to, control, her. The, greatest, problem, I, have, is, how, to, discipline, her, without, breaking, her, spirit." (Resolute voice) "But, I, shall, insist, on, reasonable, obedience, from, the, start—" (At which point HELEN, groping about on the desk, knocks over the inkwell. ANNIE jumps up, rescues her letter, rights the inkwell, grabs a towel to stem the spillage, and then wipes at HELEN'S hands. . . .) Which setting detail establishes the time period and advances the action?

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

the inkwell

Step-by-step explanation:

The tintero establishes the period of time where this story takes place. That's because the cartridge is being used by Annie to write a letter. This indicates that the story takes place many years ago when people were still doing this type of activity with pens that needed to be soiled with ink to write.

The inkwell is also the element of the text that advances the action, since when Hellen drops it, there is a change in what the characters are doing, moving the scene and adding action.
