Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Simple sentence.

Explanation:

Look at the sentence. The author/writer of this excerpt tells you directly the setting (explicit setting). In a more complex piece of writing, the author would give you some clues in the text to make you guess the setting and where this is taking place. The conflict of Antwan getting bored and lost in the park was told to the reader (you) very directly. A good writer would give you clues in the surrounding text to make it all sound more interesting. For example, it could have been, "As Antwan was roaming the different flower gardens and plains and forests, his body ached like a tired ox and he wished he could be back home in his bed with a mug of coffee. He yawned as he felt sticky mud grip his shoes. Noticing he did not know where he was at this point, Antwan tried getting back to the Visitor Center." This shows that this sentence is very simple.
