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imagery like the phrase in option A: "The cement being overtaken by flowers and grass implies that the sidewalks are no longer maintained", to give a sense of the setting, so this would be the correct answer since it makes the reader imagine just how lonely and abandoned the town is.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.

What is a central idea of the poem "Talking in Their sleep Use two details from the poem to support your response.
GREYUIT [131]
If you're talking about the poem by Edith M. Thomas then I believe that the central idea is about how people can base something off of their looks. I'm not completely sure, but it talks a lot about how they look dead, but then explain that they are not. To me that makes it sound a lot like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

It could also mean that things take time to grow into something beautiful, and before that happens, you have to go through something difficult, seeming as if it is the end of the world. But then you blossom and bloom and everybody will look in awe.

I'm not completely sure these are right, and I'm not sure we read the same poem, but you didn't state the author's name. This was just off the top of my head but I hope it helps you or gives you an idea :)

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. BRUTUS. It must be by his death: and for my part I know no personal cause t
nika2105 [10]

This particular scene, in which Brutus enters in his orchard, depicts the way Brutus speaks to the audience to give us access to his thoughts. Caesar is the maximum authority in Rome but the fact that Brutus thinks that "Th'abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power" reflects that even a ruler, a good individual can be corrupted by ambition, as Brutus later suggests, and cause suffering to his people. The right option is the third one. The reference to cold-blooded reptiles implies great danger even on a bright day.

Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker
Daniel [21]

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.
