How can you use the a story's setting as context clues

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Let's assume a story takes place in a cold, dark, gloomy, tall and ominous house. We can infer that something bad is going to happen, given the author's description, and the mood that the house is displayed in. If the house is stated to be bright, colorful, short-built and cheerful, the reader would not expect anything to happen that may cause suspense, fright, etc.
