I believe the correct answer is: "Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."
In this excerpt from the novel “The Count Monte Cristo”, written by Alexander Dumas, the quotation that best contributes to the setting of the narrative is:
"Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."
The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins (beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, hundred paces from the spot… the village of the Catalan).

The infinitive is the base form of a verb that has no inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. Some examples are <em>to think, to be, to see</em>. The infinitive verbs of the sentences are in bold:
2. I'm working <u>to save up</u> for some new music.
4. Denise likes <u>to get</u> her exercise by dancing
5. Dave has <u>to walk </u>the dog every morning.
Sentences number 1 and 3 do not contain an infinitive. The use of the preposition "to" here expresses motion or direction toward a point, person, place, or thing.
