Which best explains why the author chose the words “comparatively deserted” to describe the counter where Mrs. Sommers sits?

4 0

These words describe the visual nature of the counter. "Comparatively deserted" references Mrs. Sommers' presence. She is the only thing on the counter; compared to her, the rest of the counter is deserted. These words give the reader some clues as to how to imagine the scene that is unfolding. Hope this helps.
