Read the excerpt from iqbal. that morning we had a bigger breakfast than usual—which alone put us in a good mood—and we were allowed to laugh and chat while we waited to pass the filthy curtain outside the bathroom. the numskulls had already finished, and for the sake of the foreigners they wouldn't be chained to their looms that day. the rest of us were waiting on line, pushing and shoving. what does this excerpt indicate about the setting? the setting is a pleasant and exciting place. the setting is a haunted and strange place. the setting is a dirty and grimy place. the setting is a safe place for children.

The setting is a dirty and grimy place. The narrator talks about passing a filthy courtain outside the bathroom, implying that it is dirty and full of filth and they were having breakfast near it.

Also, these persons refered to as "numskulls" are usually chained to their looms.

There is no mention to hauntings or supernatural elements, but it is not a safe place for children and it is no described in pleasent terms.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
