<em>1. Lance Kenniston needed a ship to get to an asteroid, but nothing was available.</em>
The most important detail of the passage is the fact that Lance Kenniston needs a ship urgently, but cannot find it. The name of his friend, or his physical characteristics are not vital to the action. Similarly, the name of the port is not the most important part of the passage. Finally, although the characters' desperation is important, it is even more valuable to know the reason for their desperation.
<em>2. A. It tells readers there is something important happening on that asteroid. </em>
If the characters are desperate to get back to the asteroid, we can assume something important is going to happen there within the next two weeks. We do not know whether they are planning on taking it over, whether they are at the wrong location, or whether Kenniston has not tried hard enough. Therefore, none of the other options is possible.
Answer:
The setting is in a dark catacomb during the festive Carnival. The setting is described when the author states, “The vaults are insufferably damp. They are encrusted with nitre” (Poe “Cask” 346) and deeper into the vault, the characters, “passed through walls of piled bones, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses of the catacombs” (Poe “Cask” 349). This setting adds to the mood because it is dark and gloomy. If the story was set brighter room and the bones were swapped with butterflies, the inevitable murder will seem out of place in the story and the dark mood would not be set. It also includes a descent which is a common characteristic of Gothic literature, which adds to the suspense the reader feels when the setting is described. The bones and ominous implication of death foreshadow Fortunato’s fate and make the reader feel the suspense of the moment, hence contributing to the mood.
