Is this the excerpt you are referring to?

<span>In a smithy

one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze 
plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam- 
the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: 
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
</span>
If so, the use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is.

Which possible outcome is most clearly determined by the story's setting​
marin [14]

Well from the first sentence it says, "a princess awakens to find that her magic necklace has been stolen by an evil sorcerer." That first sentence right there already tells that the "magic necklace" of hers is pretty valuable. Then the second sentence says, "The princess must find a way to retrieve her necklace before its magic is used to destroy the kingdom." Obviously the sorcerer wont make it easy for her to retrieve the necklace so there must be an upcoming fight. This sentence also shows she's pretty determined to find away to get her necklace back to save the kingdom.
