I believe the correct answer is: “Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf…”
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 or where story happens (at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage).
Therefore, the excerpt from the text best establishes the setting of this passage is:
"Dipping his fingers languidly into the cool pond, he delicately plucked out an oval-shaped purple leaf with fine-toothed edges, then let it drop so he could capture a newer one, a larger, brilliantly red leaf whose crinkled surface curled like the palm of a hand. Behind him, at the edge of the wide, sloping lawn, the tall, green fronds of bamboo waved, as mild as grazing sheep, and the politely clicking melody of wooden wind chimes wafted from the weathered pine balcony of his twelve-bedroom cottage."
! That is an exclamation mark

Answer:
During Joe Dagget's visit to Louisa we can infer that he cares and likes her.
Explanation:
Louisa and Joe Dagget made a promise that they would get married after Joe returned from his travels in Australia. Joe returns after 14, when he and Louisa have had new experiences and developed different goals for their life. Louisa no longer wants to marry Joe, but the promise must be kept and Joe visits her frequently. These visits make it seem that Joe likes and cares about Louisa, which is true, but as we read on, we learn that Joe is in love with another woman, but to keep the promise and not to sadden Louisa, he would marry her.
