Question 3 • TX-English II B

Which details establish the setting in this passage? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“stroking his beard”
B
“in the house of the priesthood”
C
“my spirit was a cool stone”
D
“I saw and told what I saw”
E
“a river . . . a great Dead Place”
F
“his eyes were stern”

Explanation

Setting means where and when the events take place. “In the house of the priesthood” gives a location, and “a river . . . a great Dead Place” describes places in the passage’s world. The other details describe a character’s actions, feelings, or appearance, or explain what he did rather than establish the setting.
