Read the passage. The Internet has brought many opportunities for learning to students of all ages. The ability to read books online is mostly seen as a
wonderful new convenience. It has, however, had an unexpected side effect. Many libraries in surrounding towns are struggling to stay open. The
shift from paper books to online versions means that fewer people are going to the library to browse through the shelves. Fewer people are making
their way to the front desk with a pile of books to borrow and read.
Some say the loss of this experience would be a real disaster. Children have enjoyed the pleasure of getting their library cards for hundreds
of years. Nothing will ever replace the look and feel of a book or the pleasure of slowly turning the pages as adventures and mysteries spill out.

1.
crisis
2. puzzle
3. challenge
4. misfortune

Explanation:

< > answer < >

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
