Answer:
There are 3 types of verbs
- action verbs
- linking verbs
- helping verbs
Explanation:
action verbs
- An action verb is a verb that describes an action, like run, jump, kick, eat, break, cry, smile, or think.
linking verbs
- A linking verb is a verb that links (connects) the subject of the sentence to information about that subject. Linking verbs do not describe action. When using linking verbs, the sentence structure will be : SUBJECT--->LINKING VERB---> INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBJECT (noun)(verb)(adjective, noun, or complement)
helping verbs
- Helping verbs are verbs that are used in a verb phrase (meaning, used with a second verb) to show tense, or form a question or a negative. Helping verbs are used to show the perfect verb tenses, continuous/progressive verb tenses, and passive voice. Helping verbs are always followed by a second verb.

<u>Answer:</u>
B. "We were taken from the platform an hour later, frozen and insensible, at the next station..."
<u></u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Setting refers to the time and place in which a story is told.
In the citation: "We were taken from the platform an hour later, frozen and insensible, at the next station...", we can see the time, 'an hour later', and the place, 'from the platform', being mentioned.
The other two options, A and C, make no mention of any time or place, and therefore aren't examples of setting.
