Its not A. because patriotic themes don't always have to do with Americans. Its not B. because then it could be any culture. Its not C. because you're trying to say its fully american and it cant be anywhere. So the answer is D.

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.

Which option explains why gogol chose to begin his story this way
Kazeer [188]
<span>Gogol chose to end the story the way he did  to carry the straightforward and matter-of-fact tone the end of the text. The story of the nose by Gogol is obviously funny but is narrated in an unemotional tone giving doubts on the humor of the story. And to end the story with the same tone he started it, Gogol did just what he did. </span>
