Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow. By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. I would say this latter sentence due to the solitary street and the low growl of London and very silent sets a scene of loneliness, silence and the lateness of the night, suggesting a gothic setting.

Mary Cassatt's painting usually depicted domestic setting, Of a world Mary was restricted ( since she was more of a respectable woman.) She often combined certain influences of Japanese art along with some of her own. I guess her meaning changed every few paintings. For example "The Childs Bath" its said it shows "the Dignity of motherhood" Hope that helps (:
Without the word spring in the first sentence of this paragraph, how would you know the time of year in which the story takes place? The following options apply:
-Buds on the trees were swelling.
-The association of youth and gladness with the rebirth symbolized by spring.
The swelling buds point to a specific time in the life cycle of trees while the association of youth and gladness as elements of spring, of the rebirth of spring, is quite strong in this paragraph, specially as “youth and gladness” are located clearly on the sky and earth.
The remaining option, “Branches rustled faintly in the fresh breeze”, doesn’t provide a link to spring as strong as the other options.
