But there was a world Somewhere Out there
D
And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe But no lions or witches scared me I went through

Explanation

A gives concrete, observable details: the library’s location “up the hill on Vine Street” and its position along “the main black corridor.” These specifics make the setting explicit. The other excerpts focus more on imagined places, general ideas, or events.
