Answer:
See the explanation for the answer.
Explanation:
Anything I put in quotes is meant to be highlighted.
"The wind blew as if to flake away their identities."
"They looked at Martian hills that time had worn with a crushing pressure of years."
"They saw the old cities, lost in the meadows."
"...racing hiss through the stiff grass."
"...a man standing on the edge of the sea."
"They walked into town."
As for answer number two, this is what I think:
The author gives a negative feeling about the setting. Some of the keywords the author uses to help emphasize this negative and cold feeling towards the setting are, crushing, pressure, burn, bone, flake, late, and stiff.
I hope this helps!
