This question is missing the passage. I was able to find the complete question online. The passage is as follows:
Read the passage from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.
The only things that concerned the sheep were food and water. As long as the boy knew how to find the best pastures in Andalusia, they would be his friends. Yes, their days were all the same, with the seemingly endless hours between sunrise and dusk; and they had never read a book in their young lives, and didn't understand when the boy told them about the sights of the cities. They were content with just food and water, and, in exchange, they generously gave of their wool, their company, and once in a while their meat.
Answer:
The passage creates a sense of place:
B. The passage highlights that the sheep's days are always the same, creating a sense of timelessness.
Explanation:
Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian writer born in 1947. His books are successful all over the world, including the novel "The Alchemist", in which the main character, Santiago, follows a dream he believes to be prophetic.
In this particular passage from "The Alchemist", Santiago is taking care of the sheep. The narrator focuses on describing how the days go by, one after the other, with no change. For the sheep, all that matters is water and food. The sun rises and sets, and the hours between those two moments seem endless to them. Their days are always the same, just like their worries. With that description, the passage highlights a sense of timelessness.
