Read the excerpt from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

Together they climbed up to the center of the island, where the trees were thick and high. She showed him the graves, and they stood quietly together and were careful where they set their feet. Then back up the shore and to the south end of the island, where shingled one- and two-room houses clamped themselves to the rocks like oysters, glad to be there and not needing anyone's say-so. In front of almost all of them was a dory or two, some overturned, some pulled up long ago for caulking or patching. Near them, half-moon lobster traps bleached under the heat of the sun, the salt dried to white streaks along their boards, their rope netting stiff and a bit ragged. High dune grass hid the paths up to the houses—in fact, almost hid the chopping block one man was using to split his cordwood.

Which details of the setting hint that the story takes place long ago? Select 3 options.

Answer:

The correct answers are:

- Shingled one and two-room houses clamped themselves to the rocks like oysters.

- In front of almost all of them was a dory or two, some overturned.

- The chopping block one man was using to split his cordwood.

Explanation:

"Shingled one and two-room houses" shows that this is in the past and took place a long time ago because, in 1912, most houses were small unlike our houses nowadays. In the early 1900s houses were around 700 to 1,200 square feet containing up to three rooms at max and often having no bathroom. The three rooms were one or two bedrooms and a living room.

"In front of almost all of them was a dory or two, some overturned" shoes that this story takes place a long time ago because a dory is a small shallow-boat. That can be from 16 to 23 feet long. Dory boats were used from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. These boats were mainly used for cod fishing in shallow-like waters.

"The chopping block one man was using to split his cordwood." demonstrates a definition of the past because in the past most people would cut wood to build things such as houses, boats, or use it for firewood. At present, we can just buy firewood from a store and do not have to cut it like they had to in the past for their fireplaces, which made their heat during cold and harsh winters.
