Question 396 • (OC27) MATH COLL ALGEBRA-1200710-S1-Degele-VOL7006P

Which line best helps readers identify a countryside setting?

Answer

When the old man, helped by Bilbo and some dwarves, had finished unloading, Bilbo gave a few pennies away;

The young hobbits stared at the door in vain for a while, and then made off, feeling that the day of the party would never come.

Inside Bag End, Bilbo and Gandalf were sitting at the open window of a small room looking out west on to the garden.

“Yes,” said Bilbo. “I am very fond indeed of it, and of all the dear old Shire; but I think I need a holiday.”

Explanation

Choice C gives readers clear clues about the setting: it mentions a garden and says the window looks west over it. A garden is a feature associated with a countryside home, while the other lines do not describe the surroundings as directly. Therefore, the line that best helps identify a countryside setting is the one describing the view from Bag End.
