What is the purpose of setting in literature?

  1. To provide a physical backdrop to the story

  2. To allow the characters to interact in different ways

  3. To create a mood or atmosphere

  4. To contrast different characters

The correct answer is: To create a mood or atmosphere

The setting in literature serves a specific purpose in setting the stage for the story and creating a certain mood or atmosphere. While providing a physical backdrop for the story and allowing for character interactions are also important aspects of setting, they are not the primary purpose. Similarly, contrasting characters can be achieved through other elements of literature, such as dialogue and actions, making it a less significant aspect of setting.
