"I remember only the dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of the shantytown where I lived."

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

"I remember only the dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of the shantytown where I lived.""I feel again the chaotic emotions of adolescence, illusive as smoke.""Hey, Elizabeth," Joey yelled. He never talked when he could yell. "Hey, Elizabeth, let's go somewhere.""The years have taken me world's away from that time and place."

The term setting refers to the time and place in which a story takes place. The setting of a story gives context to the plot, as well as to the actions of the characters. In this passage, we learn about a time period (the dry September) and a location (the dirt roads and grassless yards of the shantytown where I lived), which makes this the best example of an explicit setting.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.

hey, sorry if this was bad, i really didn't know what to write but i wanted to you. is there anything that you had to include within the excerpt?
