Answer 1

A. the time, place, and conditions in which a story occurs

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of setting in literature is to act as an exposition.

When we read a scary story, and the character starts to describe the circumstances of his physical surroundings, he is describing his setting.

Example: It was midnight when I pulled into the driveway of my house. The lamposts along my street blinked eerily as I made my way to the front door. Something didn't feel right.

Choice B describes mood.

Choice C describes plot.

Choice D describes characterization.
