Manuela is working on visualizing the setting in this excerpt from "Nothing but Net.”

The neighborhood didn’t feel the same, though. The shoebox-sized store on the corner was closed because Mr. Hallas, the owner, had moved to Florida.

Which descriptive language did Manuela most likely connect with to help her visualize the setting?

the neighborhood didn’t
shoebox-sized store
closed because
had moved to

The correct answer is "shoebox-sized store"

Explanation:

The setting includes the place where a story occurs and this is related to the geographical features of the place such as the existence of mountains or a forest, the location of the place, and even the buildings in this place. Moreover, this setting is explained to the reader by using descriptive language that allows the reader to imagine or visualize a location. This is better exemplified in "shoebox-sized store" because this detail refers to the buildings in this place, which is part of the setting, and it allows the reader to imagine the specific store by using words that explain the store is rather small.

A comet's journey around the Sun may take hundreds of years. As the comet at last approaches the Sun, bits of ice and other material are
thrown back from the Sun, creating the comet's "tail." After the comet has passed the Sun, its tail gradually disappears until there is little more left
of the visible comet than a ball of ice and gas hurtling through space.
