Read the passage below carefully and then answer the question. (from the jungle, by upton sinclair, 1920) the room is about thirty-feet square, with whitewashed walls, bare save for a calendar, a picture of a race-horse, and a family tree in a gilded frame. to the right there is a door from the saloon, with a few loafers in the doorway, and in the corner beyond it a bar, with a presiding genius clad in soiled white, with waxed black mustaches and a carefully oiled curl plastered against one side of his forehead. in the opposite corner are two tables, filling a third of the room and laden with dishes and cold viands, which a few of the hungrier guests are already munching. at the head, where sits the bride, is a snow-white cake, with an eiffel tower of constructed decoration, with sugar roses and two angels upon it, and a generous sprinkling of pink and green and yellow candies. beyond opens a door into the kitchen, where there is a glimpse to be had of a range with much steam ascending from it, and many women old and young, rushing hither and thither. in the corner to the left are the three musicians, upon a little platform, toiling heroically to make some impression upon the hubbub; also the babies, similarly occupied, and an open window whence the populace imbibes the sights and sounds and odors. suddenly some of the steam begins to advance, and, peering through it, you discern aunt elizabeth, ona’s step-mother – teta elzbieta, as they call her – bearing aloft a great platter of stewed duck. behind her is kotrina, making her way cautiously, staggering beneath a similar burden; and half a minute later there appears old grandmother majauszkiene, with a big yellow bowl of smoking potatoes, nearly as big as herself. so, bit by bit, the feast takes form – there is a ham and a dish of sauerkraut, boiled rice, macaroni, bologna sausages, great piles of penny buns, bowls of milk, and foaming pitchers of beer. there is also, not six feet from your back, the bar, where you may order all you and do not have to pay for it. ‘eikez! graicziau! ’ screams marija berczynskas, and falls to work herself – for there is more upon the stove inside that will be spoiled if it be not eaten. in an outline for this passage that begins, i. the room a. thirty-feet square b. white-washed walls c. calendar d. race-horse family tree ii. saloon door a. loafers in doorway iii. bar a. what would be a good heading for iii. a.?

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
