Answer 1

To accurately determine the correct responses based on the author's use of figurative language, it would be essential to analyze specific examples from the passage. However, in the absence of the actual passage, I can provide guidance on how you might interpret the cultural setting based on common figurative language themes.

1. The story is set in a place where courage is an important trait. - If the passage emphasizes bravery or overcoming fear, it would likely suggest a cultural setting that values courage.

2. The story is set in a place where people fear things needlessly. - This could suggest a culture that is marked by irrational fears or superstitions.

The other options regarding mountains, rice, and flying babies would depend on specific imagery or symbolic references found in the passage. If the passage includes references to rice as a staple food, mentions of climbing mountains, or whimsical elements like flying babies, those could also be valid interpretations.

Once you have the passage, look for key phrases, metaphors, or descriptions that hint at social values, culinary practices, or other cultural signs to help identify the best responses.
