Which of the following might be described as a text that is "academic"?

1. a fly-fishing manual
2. a russian novel from the eighteenth century
3.a newspaper from modern-day france
4. a romance novel

Explanation:

1. A fly-fishing guide doesn't work. That aids in being able to do a hobby better.

3. May seem so to those of us living on the north American continent. It would not to the French in France. It's not 3.

4. A romance novel (modern day) would not appear to be "academic", although middle march or any Jane Austen is.

2. I'd pick 2.

in that passage i would say the sentence which best describes the overall impact of the setting is when they mention the absence of people because it suggests that taking a walk at night is unusual.
