Symbols in Moby-Dick

Question 1 • English 11 A

Which detail sets the scene?

Answer
A
“shivers ran over me”
B
“biting Polar weather”
C
“those less lowering”

Explanation

“Biting Polar weather” describes the cold conditions and polar environment, so it sets the scene by showing where and in what kind of weather the events take place. “Shivers ran over me” describes a character’s reaction, not the setting.
