Question

Which of the following is not related to the setting in Gulliver’s Travels? A. Gulliver is educated in sailing. B. Gulliver left Bristol, England. C. Gulliver’s business is failing and he’s broke. D. Gulliver’s voyage begins May 4, 1699.

Answer 1

In my opinion, the correct answer is A. Gulliver is educated in sailing. The setting means context, time and place. The fact that Gulliver has this or that personal trait (e.g. he is educated in sailing) contributes to the characterization, and not the setting. All the other facts are about the setting.
