“I’ve got it!” shouted Ellie. “If we leave now, we can see the new surf film at noon then hit the surf museum and look at old surfboards.”
“You’re pretty smart for a little sister,” said Sam. “I’ll ask mom if we can borrow the car!”


Which paragraph features dialogue that reveals information about the setting?
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Paragraph 1

Explanation:

The setting is defined as the description of the time, place, or circumstance in which the event or action took place in the narrative. The first paragraph informs the readers that the characters are 'stuck on the couch' and unable to  'believe the storm' that has come in. They expected themselves to be surfing but this storm has marred their plan. Thus, paragraph 1 informs the readers about the circumstance and the time in which the action is being narrated.
