Question

T's easy to assume that _________ and setting are the same thing, but _________ is just one of the many elements of a powerful setting.

tone, the tone
theme, the theme
characters, a character
place, place

Answer 1

D. place, place

Step-by-step explanation:

When we first think of setting of a story, we usually think of place where that story takes place.

However, setting is much more than just a place. It gives us information about time period (historical period, year, specific date, time of the day etc.) social environment and, of course place.

But when we say place, we don't mean on mere geographic latitude and longitude. Place also can mean different planet, specific state, city or town, forest, lake, mountain, house, market, car, train, party etc.

So, as a conclusion, although people might mix up terms "place" and "setting", place is actually only one part of the setting.
