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."
In the text, Douglass says that he wasn't close with his mom, because she was killed when he was very young.
Hope this helps!

“I saw you at the practice run…”
As it is a developing country The foreigners think that the law there is not strict enough or will not be able to punish them. With this thinking they commit crimes in South Africa.Since the country has poverty,uneducated people and large no of minorities they are not able to speak against the crime most of the time.They are being the victims and it affects their mental and physical health too. There is inequality and some foreigners might think that they are superior and commit crime .
