Question 6 • Basic English III Sem. 1
The excerpt describes a sequence of events: the narrator waits in the dark, sees a light, and watches Spaulding and Ross emerge through a hole in the floor. A sequence of events that moves a story forward is its plot, so “plot” is the correct choice. The passage includes details about the dark room, but those details alone do not make setting its main focus.
