how does the author use setting to support the development of her main character?
a. the condominium lois lives in differs greatly from her former home.
b. the camp lois attends is in the wilderness.
c. camp manitou seems to be directly connected to lois' uneasiness with her paintings.
d. lois' best friend lives in the united states.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

there is no short story here so that i can answer the question.
