The two ways the setting contributes to Veronica's actions are:
-
The game show allows Veronica to keep the score close by succeeding in physical challenges. This setting suggests that while trivia may not be her strength, her athletic abilities can help her remain competitive, possibly encouraging her to prioritize physical tasks over mental ones.
-
The rules of the game show reward Veronica for her clumsiness and inability to answer questions. If the game rewards her for her clumsiness, it might lead her to lean into those traits, affecting her strategy and approach during the competition.
