PLEASE HELP!!

Read the passage.

excerpt from The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

When the stall was assembled, the candy seller offered the boy the first sweet he had made for the day. The boy thanked him, ate it, and went on his way. When he had gone only a short distance, he realized that, while they were erecting the stall, one of them had spoken Arabic and the other Spanish.

And they had understood each other perfectly well.

There must be a language that doesn't depend on words, the boy thought. I've already had that experience with my sheep, and now it's happening with people.

excerpt from The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

The boy awoke before dawn. It had been eleven months and nine days since he had first set foot on the African continent.

He dressed in his Arabian clothing of white linen, bought especially for this day. He put his headcloth in place and secured it with a ring made of camel skin.



How does this passage create a sense of place and time?

Question 8 options:

By describing the change in the boy’s dress, the passage establishes that the boy has become an Arabian.


By describing the African continent, the passage explains why the boy has decided to stay.


The passage states that it has been 11 months and 9 days, showing the reader how long the boy has been in Africa and how the boy has changed in that time


The description of the dawn uses sensory language to evoke the beauty and mystery of the desert.
