All of the following statements about the setting of a story are true except 1) sometimes the setting and the plot of a story cannot be separated. 2) the setting is really not vital to the readers understanding of a story 3) the description of a setting often to support the mood created in the story. 4) the setting of a story often to reveal the motives and behavior of a character

I believe the answer would most likely be number 1. Number 2 is correct because, in a story the setting of the story does not actually help the reader understand what that story is about. Number 3 is correct because, in the setting(the beginning of the story) it helps you understand where they are. Sort of like in a play. Finally, number 4 is correct because, the setting often describes how the character is feeling at that point in time. On conclusion, number 1 is wrong because the setting and the plot can very much be separated.
