Use the paragraph to answer the question.

SCENE I.—Michael wipes his sweat-drenched face with an old rag for what feels like the thousandth time this morning. The porch fan is on its highest setting, but it does nothing to relieve the air of its heavy, stickiness. The glass of cool lemonade he had poured in the kitchen is dripping condensation onto the old, brown wicker table. He rises from the rocking chair as he sees a bright red car pull into the driveway.

Which inference can be made about the setting?

The correct inference that can be made about the setting is:

There is a heat wave.

This is supported by Michael's sweat-drenched face, the heavy, sticky air, and the need for a fan despite it being on its highest setting.
