Excerpt A: "In the sweltering Lagos market, the heat pressed on her shoulders, the crowd's chatter drowning her thoughts." Excerpt B: "High in the misty Scottish Highlands, the wind cut like knives, the lone cottage perched on a cliff." Compare how each setting influences the protagonists' decisions, citing specific details from the excerpts.
Answer Options
A.
Because Lagos is hot and crowded, the protagonist decides to travel to the countryside, while the Scottish Highlands' cold wind makes the other protagonist seek warmth in a nearby town, indicating both settings push the characters toward relocation.
B.
In Lagos, the oppressive heat forces the protagonist to remain indoors, while the Scottish Highlands' gentle breezes encourage the other protagonist to explore the cliffs, so the first setting limits movement and the second expands it.
C.
The Lagos market's bright sunlight and bustling vendors inspire the protagonist to join the crowd, whereas the quiet Scottish Highlands cause the other protagonist to feel lonely and leave the cottage, showing the first setting promotes social interaction and the second prompts isolation.
Correct Answer
D.
In Lagos, the stifling heat and noisy crowd compel the protagonist to look for a quieter, cooler place, whereas in the Scottish Highlands the biting wind and isolated cliffside cottage make the other protagonist stay sheltered for safety; thus the first setting pushes outward action and the second pushes inward restraint.
