This question is missing some of the sentences. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Use the drop-down menus to indicate whether each sentence from the article includes details that show setting.

1. In January 2009, Malala and her father sat in their living room drinking tea and eating beef and curry stew.

2. She was a global symbol of girls' rights but also just a kid.

3. Ellick remembered another time when they were out shopping in Islamabad, having fun and hunting for English language books and DVDs.

Sentence 1 shows setting.

Sentence 2 does NOT show setting.

Sentence 3 shows setting.

Explanation:

Setting is the "where and when" of a story. It is the time, place, and social/historical context in which a story takes place. In sentences 1 and 3, there are details that help us contextualize the story, that help us build the setting for it. In the first one, a year and a location are mentioned - January 2009 and their living room. In the last one, another location is mentioned - Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

Sentence 2, however, does not present any information that can be related to the setting of the story.

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.

this is what i put and it was correct

it's a way for authors to communicate with reader in this time period. books from the past can teach us about life.
