Read the excerpt from david foster wallace’s infinite jest. i am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies. my posture is consciously congruent to the shape of my hard chair. this is a cold room in university administration, wood-walled, remington-hung, double-windowed against the november heat, insulated from administrative sounds by the reception area outside, at which uncle charles, mr. delint and i were lately received. what is the setting in this excerpt? a. at a university office b. at a dorm room c. at the tennis courts d. at uncle charles’s home

the answer is A. at a university.

A. at a university office

Explanation:

By reading this excerpt we can figure out that the narrator is describing an office at a university. First he states that he is seated "at an office" we know for sure where he is. Later he says "This is a cold room in University Administration..." he is explicitly giving his location. The other sentences describe the place and the way he feels it; it has wood walls, the decoration is from an artist named Remington, the outside heat can't penetrate the building as well as the sounds as it is insulated.
