Question

Read the passage from "The Strangers That Came to Town" carefully.

Answer 1

Answer:

The scene introduces the reader to the narrator and to the Duvitches.

Explanation:

The passage above was taken from "The Strangers That Came to Town" by Ambrose Flack. The passage was stated at the first part of the story thus, it is meant to introduce the reader to the characters, at first.

The passage introduces the narrator by stating, "All afternoon, Mother, Tom and I..." This means the narrator is a daughter/son and, probably, the sister of Tom. It also introduces the "Duvitches" since they were new in town. People were very curious of them because they were the first immigrants of their nationality to have settled in town. So, this gives the readers an idea about the Duvitches as having come from a different part of the world.
