What does an author use to affect the setting of the story? a. diction and syntax b. purposeful writing c. universal theme d. flashy distractors

I believe the answer is A) diction and syntax, because diction is the choice of words, and of course the setting depends on the words used, if very old words are used, then it is likely to assume that the setting is in the older era, whereas if modern language is used, of course, the setting is in the modern times.
