The Swimmers by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) He floundered in the water. It went into his nose and started a raw stinging; it b

linded him; it lingered afterward in his ears, rattling back and forth like pebbles for hours. The sun discovered him, too, peeling long strips of parchment from his shoulders, blistering his back so that he lay in a feverish agony for several nights. After a week he swam, painfully, pantingly, and not very far. The girl taught him a sort of crawl, for he saw that the breast stroke was an obsolete device that lingered on with the inept and the old. Choupette caught him regarding his tanned face in the mirror with a sort of fascination, and the youngest boy contracted some sort of mild skin infection in the sand that retired him from competition. But one day Henry battled his way desperately to the float and drew himself up on it with his last breath.
How does the author reveal the setting of the story in this passage?
by mentioning a skin infection
by referring to "strips of parchment"
by referring to "feverish agony"
by mentioning water and sand
