Question

Margaret had not done her math homework. She hated math! Math, as far as she was concerned, was the world’s biggest waste of time. That was a fine attitude when she was having her after‐school snack, or playing with her friends, or watching movies all evening, but now she sat squirming in her seat, praying that Ms. Green wouldn’t ask her to go up to the board to demonstrate a problem. She dropped her eyes to her desk as Ms. Green's eyes swept the classroom, looking for a victim.
What is the setting?
How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer:

The macro setting hasn't been implied or mentioned in the text, but the micro setting is in the classroom. We can infer this from the statement that she is at school because she mentions her teacher Ms. Green and her praying she wouldn't call her up to the board.
