<span>Arthur Miller’s The Crucible was based on two historical
events that very similar despite the fact that they occurred on two different
time periods. Miller based his work on
the witch hunts that happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. This came about
when a group of young girls fell ill and developed symptoms such as seizures,
fainting spells, many believed that this was the work of witches. Word of this development led to panic as
people began to suspect one another of being a witch. This led to numerous trials where many were
killed just because someone accused them of witchcraft. During the McCarthy era, the government launched
a similar crusade to root out communist sympathizers. Many were jailed, executed as well as had
their careers destroyed. Both event were
the same in the sense that many lives were ruined due to fear and suspicion.</span>
The correct answer is "shoebox-sized store"
Explanation:
The setting includes the place where a story occurs and this is related to the geographical features of the place such as the existence of mountains or a forest, the location of the place, and even the buildings in this place. Moreover, this setting is explained to the reader by using descriptive language that allows the reader to imagine or visualize a location. This is better exemplified in "shoebox-sized store" because this detail refers to the buildings in this place, which is part of the setting, and it allows the reader to imagine the specific store by using words that explain the store is rather small.
