Answer 2

c. the setting feels isolated and closed in.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, Elisa's attention has always been to her chrysanthemums flower garden till the man ( a tinker ) who repairs pots and pans turns up.

The discussion she had with the man about her chrysanthemums, the discussion about stars and her growing passion for the man leading to her reaching out to touch the mans' pant's leg are indicators of her feelings of being trapped.
