Answer:

D. He clearly establishes a Puritan New England setting

Explanation:

"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by writer Washington Irving and tells of a fictional legend that resembles the former German legend of Faust. In it, the Devil lures Tom Walker with the promise of treasure buried somewhere in the marshes near Boston.

Through a skeptical narrator, Irving captivates several audiences: one who believes in myth and one who laughs at it. The rural setting of history allows him to address relevant issues such as capitalism and consumerism, which were becoming dominant in American society at the time. To adapt the German tale and make it purely American Irwing had the genius of clearly establishing a puritanical New England scene.

How do the ants prepare for a mass crossing of the moat?
Ad libitum [116K]

Thanks for posting. I hadn't thought of it before.

The quick answer to this is that they gather leaves to make boats. As a science major, I'm a little doubtful this would work. Those ants covered acres and acres and their size though relatively small, were huge compared to other ants. The surface tension of water with a leaf might be enough to accommodate 20 ants, but that was a spit in the bucket.

Further, this implies that the ants were discriminating enough to stop eating the vegetation (which is the central conflict of the story) and decide that they had to forestall their appetite so they had leaves to cross. Even if they were capable of such higher lever mental abilities, there likely were not enough leaves around to accomplish the crossing.

All of that just so I could answer A
