Select ALL questions the source recommends when examining context.

Answer

What is the setting and time frame?, Who is speaking?, Who is being addressed?

Explanation

### Why this is right - **A** is correct because setting and time frame help identify the historical situation. - **B** is correct because a speaker’s identity helps distinguish narration, divine speech, and a character’s claim. - **C** is correct because the intended audience affects how an instruction or statement should be understood. ### The concept Context is the surrounding situation and text that helps establish meaning. The source asks readers to identify the setting, speaker, and audience before drawing conclusions. These questions can expose a misreading, such as attributing a character’s mistaken belief to the narrator. ### The other options - **D. Which modern opinion should the passage be made to support?**: This reverses interpretation by forcing a preferred conclusion onto the text. ### Remember Ask what the passage meant in its setting before asking how it speaks to a present question.
