Sample question
A story opens with a character arriving at a seaside town that is described as 'emptied of colour by winter, every shutter drawn'. What is the most precise way this setting shapes the reader's response?
  • It proves that the story is set in winter, which is the only information the reader needs.
  • It shows that the character is wealthy because seaside towns are expensive.
  • It creates a bleak, lonely mood that prepares the reader to sympathise with or worry about the arriving character.
  • It has no effect on the reader because settings only provide background.
Show the worked answer

Answer: C

The drained colour and closed shutters build a bleak, isolated atmosphere, and that mood steers the reader's feelings about the character who enters it. Naming only the season gives a fact but no effect, the wealth idea has no support in the description, and the claim that setting is mere background ignores how atmosphere guides response.
