Answer:
A. the time, place, and conditions in which a story occurs
Explanation:
The purpose of setting in literature is to act as an exposition.
When we read a scary story, and the character starts to describe the circumstances of his physical surroundings, he is describing his setting.
Example: It was <u>midnight</u> when I pulled into the driveway of my <u>house</u>. The <u>lamposts along my street</u> blinked eerily as I made my way to the front door. Something didn't feel right.
Choice B describes mood.
Choice C describes plot.
Choice D describes characterization.
This is an example of D. irony.
Irony is when you say something which is actually the opposite of what you think, in order to make a funny statement. So, this person said the doctor was unusually prompt (which means punctual, someone who always arrives on time), even though he was half an hour late. <span />
Here are two examples of repetition in Romeo and Juliet:
1. Juliet: "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" (II.II.33)
2. nurse: “O woeful, O woeful, woeful, woeful day!” (76, 30)
