Please Help! Which detail best reflects the historical and cultural setting of the text, The Cloak??

(a) well-bred officials

(b) the reception-room

(c) the department

(d) the head clerk

b). The department

Explanation:

The setting is characterized as the time, place, and circumstance in which the story or the text is set in. It primarily assists the readers in providing the context that could help reinforce comprehension. In the text 'The Cloak,' the anonymous government 'department' most aptly reflects the cultural as well as the historical background in which the story is set in and where Akakiy Akakievitch Bashmatchkin had been doing the same copying work for years without any respect. This gives the readers about the environment in which he had been working without any dignity. Thus, option b is the correct answer.

(a) well-bred officials

Explanation: I got this right on Edmentum, and well-bred is a phrase that isn’t commonly used now. Or at least not as commonly used as reception room, department, and head clerk. Which tend to be used pretty frequently in office settings.

the answer is b. my dude
