Read the excerpt below from a tree grows in brooklyn by betty smith and answer the question that follows.
[h]e lived on the pennies of the youngsters and he didn’t want to be boycotted.
how does the language in the excerpt reveal the setting of the story?
the reference to “youngsters” reveals the reason the author is writing.
the reference to “pennies” reveals the central message or insight of the story.
the reference to “pennies” reveals the historical context of the story.
the reference to “youngsters” reveals a universal message or insight.

The correct answer is the third one: the reference to "pennies" reveals the historical context of the story. The setting of a story refers to the time and place a story takes place. In this case, readers know where "pennies" are used (USA), so the story being told is set there.

The other three options are not related to the setting. In fact, they are related to the author's reason for writing and the story's messages which are not considered part of the setting of stories.
