A short story's setting is made of time and place.
Apart from plot (what is going on) and characters (who is doing what they are doing), the setting (where and when is the plot happening) is the most important element of a short story. The interpretation of a short story depends very much on how the author has described the setting. It provides a context for the events.
Answer:A
Explanation:
If you use the process of elimination the awnser is obvious. There is no one or thing to envy and he isn't angry or confident . His discription shows he is losing hope as a squirrel searching for nuts in the winter.
Taking into account its structure, this is a compound-complex sentence.
"After a bear cub survived a forest fire in 1950 he became known as Smokey and he lived in the national zoo for many years"<u> is a compound-complex sentence because it contains two independent clauses</u> ("he became known as Smokey" and "he lived in the national zoo for many years") <u>and one dependent clause</u> ("after a bear cub survived a forest fire in 1950"). <u>The two independent clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and" and the dependent clause is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "after"</u>. A compound-complex sentence is a combination of a compound sentence, which contains two independent clauses, and a complex sentence, which has a dependent clause joined to an independent clause.
