Read the excerpt from “good country people.” mrs. hopewell, who had divorced her husband long ago, needed someone to walk over the fields with her; and when joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that mrs. hopewell would say, “if you can’t come pleasantly, i don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward, would reply, “if you want me, here i am—like i am.” based on mrs. hopewell’s attitude toward the fields, it is reasonable to infer that the story takes place a. on a farm with many field hands and employees. b. on a wide, isolated expanse of farmland. c. in a small town where everyone is friendly toward one another. d. in a deserted town in which mysterious events occur.

I assume that the setting of this story is:

B.) on a wide isolated expanse of farmland otherwise Mrs Hopewell wouldn’t need any one to accompany her. Hiring Joy for the position would be keeping her company and helping her do the daily tasks that need to be done at the farm.

 It is not on any of the following because:

 A. ) on a farm with many field hands and employees, she wouldn’t need to hire anyone but would just choose one of her current employees.

C. )If it was in a small town where everyone was friendly to one another, Mrs. Hopewell wouldn’t have hired somebody with an attitude like Joy.

D. )And it is not also in a deserted town where mysterious events occur otherwise she somebody who could assure her safety. The paragraph states that she only needed somebody to walk the fields with her meaning all she needed was company.

the purpose of a nonfiction text is to give the text a rap up. for example, when i say : frogs are interesting animals is an ending. then when i say: frogs are unique in different ways. that is an intro.
