Answer 2

The detail that helps the reader visualize the prairie setting is (c.) "Not a house in sight...".

In literature, the setting is the place in which the events and actions happen. The writer generally resorts to description in order to give the reader information about the setting because the setting is an important aspect of literature. In this passage, the writer has also used description to help the reader visualize the prairie ("Not a house in sight"). This passage has been taken from Boy Life on the Prairie, a book written by Hamlin Garland.
