detached. We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital.
Although, as we walked to the Cova through the tough part of town, walking in the dark, with light and singing coming out of the wine-shops,
and sometimes having to walk into the street when the men and women would crowd together on the sidewalk so that we would have had to
jostle them to get by, we felt held together by there being something that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not
understand.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
