In a short story, an 11-year-old girl moves to a new town where she feels like
an outsider.
Which sentence describes the most likely effect of the story's setting?
O
A. It heightens the sense of danger and anxiety in the story.
O
B. It provides a physical challenge for the main character.
O
C. It serves as a metaphor for the main character's state of mind.
O
D. It increases the main character's sense of isolation.

D, I think. It makes the most sense because it doesn't hunt at any danger or physical challenges.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
