The setting of a story can be considered as a literary element, it is used to describe the location, where the story takes place, but also, the time and duration of the story. It usually entails imagery by the author to make the reader imagine and understand. In this excerpt, the author uses imagery like the phrase in option A: "The cement being overtaken by flowers and grass implies that the sidewalks are no longer maintained", to give a sense of the setting, so this would be the correct answer since it makes the reader imagine just how lonely and abandoned the town is.

Option B is incorrect because it doesn't transmit the sense of abandonment that the author is trying to convey.

Option C is incorrect because the author is not trying to convey cautiousness, rather he is trying to transmit loneliness.

Option D is incorrect because in the excerpt, it is never mentioned that the man's house is the only one lit.

Part A What is the author's point of view toward Azy's vocabulary mistake in "The Think Tank"? O The mistake is a major setback

Goryan [66]

Answer:

A) The correct answer is C) the mistake helpfully reveals the way Azy's mind works.

B) The correct option is D) "Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."

Explanation:

A) Azy - an Orangutan in captivity which is being used for experiments in the behaviour of primates, especially learning, is presented with a bag containing food.

Azy is given options on a screen to select from, and instead of picking food, he picks another symbol which represents a container.

According to the researchers, the right answer would have been the symbol which connotes food. However, Shumaker is elated to note that the Orangutans have the ability to put things into categories.

B) In the last paragraph of the excerpt, Shumaker states that in his opinion, the mistake shows that Azy in his mind is learning or can put objects into categories and that that by itself could be a pointer to how Orangutans think.
