If the reader wasn't directly told that the story takes place in 1751, what else would indicate that the story takes place in the past?

A) the fact that the characters' parents have died
B) the fact that smoke was rising from the chimney
C) because no house would be so run down in today's world
D) the fact that it's not unusual for a person to walk for two days to reach his destination

C or D, probably C

Explanation: Houses would seem to be much more run down from the 1700s if you compared them to houses today, it can't be a because people's parenst die all the time, or b because people still use their chimneys today, and d seems a) impossible and b) unrealistic, so I would go with C. Hope this helps.
