To determine which statement describes how the settings of "The Antique Shop" and "Don't Go Into the Library" are different, we should analyze the general characteristics of each setting.

  1. Only one setting appeals to all kinds of people. - This might suggest that one setting is more universally appealing than the other, but without specific details about the settings, we can't conclude this definitively.

  2. Only one setting provides wisdom to those who enter. - This statement indicates that one setting imparts knowledge or wisdom, while the other may not. Depending on the themes of the works, either setting could be seen as educational.

  3. Only one setting invites visitors to discover something. - This suggests that one setting is more about exploring and finding new things, while the other does not emphasize discovery.

  4. Only one setting contains many important objects. - This implies that one setting is rich in significant items, potentially defining its purpose, while the other may lack this quality.

Given these options and without specific knowledge of the content of both works, the best answer would likely be 4. Only one setting contains many important objects. This is specific enough to highlight a clear difference between the two settings, as an antique shop typically houses significant or historically valuable items, whereas a library, while it contains books, may not emphasize "objects" in the same sense.
