Question
Claire had been driving for seven hours and she still was only halfway there. Feeling sleepy, she pulled into a restaurant. After coffee and fruit, she got back into her car, ready to finish the trip. But when she turned the ignition, the car wouldn’t start.
Claire got out of the car and looked around at the little town where she had landed. Soon she realized she was in the place she had lived as a young child.
Ready to linger in the town for a while, Claire breathed deeply. Maybe I can relive some old memories, she chuckled as she walked up the steep hill lined with shops and restaurants.
Even though she wasn’t hungry, Claire found herself in a little sandwich shop. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d been here before. She sat down in a booth in the corner and looked up to see a young girl sitting in the booth beside her. Claire realized who the little girl was. It was nine-year-old Claire—she saw herself.
The girl was with two people who looked exactly like Claire’s parents had way back then. Claire sat frozen, staring at the memory as if it were real.
Why does the author use this setting?
The small town is a place that many people have visited.
The small town that Claire stops in is actually significant to her personal history.
The small town is where the author is from, so this story is autobiographical.
The small town is unusual because most towns do not have a sandwich shop.

The correct answer is:
**The small town that Claire stops in is actually significant to her personal history.**
This option aligns with the narrative, as the town triggers Claire's memories of her childhood and allows her to encounter a vision of her younger self and her family. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her past.
