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.

I really dont know how to help you with this..., but ill try.

Emily was in her room reading a book one day when she suddenly heard her parents calling her. She walked downstairs and headed to the living room, where her parents are waiting for her.

"OK, Emily, we are moving to somewhere else because of your dad's job," Emily's mother, Amelia, said.

"What? We are moving? where?" Emily shouted.

"We are not sure yet, but its somewhere near California."

"but all my friends are here"

"So you'll just have to say goodbye to them then"

"Fine" Emily sighs.

After 2 weeks, Emily and her family arrives at their new home in San Franscisco. It was a big house, and they even agreed to take her to the local pet store to choose a puppy.

Emily quickly makes tons of new friends at her new school and joins lots of clubs, she quickly becomes the "popular" kids at her new school.

Emily learned an important lesson that we all should learn: You can't always focus on the negative outcome of something because when one door closes, another door opens.
