I believe the answer would have to be A.......i have read it and confirm that there is lots of foreshadowing throughout the story
I believe the correct answer is: “Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf…”
The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins or where story happens (at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage).
Therefore, the excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage is:
"Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf with fine-toothed edges, then let it drop so he could capture a newer one, a larger, brilliantly red leaf whose crinkled surface curled like the palm of a hand. Behind him, at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage."
Passive voices can be present, past, with modals and stative passive. The correct blank is <u>could be seen</u>.
<h3>What are modals?</h3>
Modals are the verb form that represents the ability, necessity, and intent in the sentence of another verb form. Some examples of models are could, can, might, would, must, etc.
Modals are used with passive voice in sentences as object + modal + be + past participle form of the verb. hence the sentence will include could (modal) + be and seen (past participle).
Therefore, the correct blank is <u>could be seen.</u>
