The two sentences that most effectively establish a setting and point of view for the narrative are:
**D:** "I can't believe that I'm going to my first day of school at a new school for the fifth time in five consecutive years!"
**E:** "Landon looked around nervously and picked a desk in the back of the room, sighing at the start of another school year in another new school."
Sentence D establishes a personal point of view (first person) and sets the scene for the anxiety and challenges of starting school, while Sentence E continues that theme by describing Landon's emotions and actions in the new school environment. Together, they create a clear sense of setting and perspective.
