Read the excerpt from A Girl Named Zippy.There was one main street, Broad Street, which was actually not so broad, and was the site of the town’s only four-way stop sign. There were three churches: the North Christian Church and the South Christian Church, which sat on opposite ends of Broad Street like sentinels, and the Mooreland Friends Church, which was kind of in the middle of town, but tucked back on Jefferson Street at the edge of a meadow. There were . . . no theaters, no department stores.
Answer
A
to show how many churches were in town
B
to detail where the stop sign was located
C
to show the activities the characters enjoyed
D
to provide details about the story’s setting
Explanation
The excerpt describes features of the town, including its main street, the location of the churches, and the absence of theaters and department stores. These details help readers picture where the story takes place. The correct choice is “to provide details about the story’s setting”; the passage is not mainly focused on the stop sign or the characters’ activities.
