Explanation: The setting of a story is the place or time where the story takes place, it can include the description of a physical place, but also the context (historical, political, cultural, etc), it also can include description of the emotional atmosphere. In the given passage from “Crossing Spider Creek” by Dan O’Brien we can see a clear example of a presentation of the setting of a story, it expresses the time (" It is nineteen eight-seven, autumn") and also it says it is "a nice day."
<span>“Crossing Spider Creek” is actually a short story that was written by Dan O'Brien and based on the passage taken from this story, the story element that is clearly presented in the passage is the SETTING. The answer is the third option. It is the setting because it states the time and place of the story. Hope this helps.</span>
