and who were halcyone and ceyx? you shall hear while the chest floats on. halcyone was a fairy maiden, the daughter of the beach and of the wind. and she loved a sailor-boy, and married him; and none on earth were so happy as they. but at last ceyx was wrecked; and before he could swim to the shore the billows swallowed him up. and halcyone saw him drowning, and leapt into the sea to him; but in vain. then the immortals took pity on them both, and changed them into two fair sea-birds; and now they build a floating nest every year, and sail up and down happily for ever upon the pleasant seas of greece.

< > answer < >

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
