excerpt from Act II, Scene 1, in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare Fairy Over hill, over dale, Through bush, through brier, Over park, over pale, Through flood, through fire; I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moon's sphere. How does this passage create a sense of place? The fairy describes the view from Titania’s castle window. The fairy talks about the beauty of the moon. The fairy describes how she wanders through the world at night. The fairy is remembering how the woods used to look before the humans spoiled it.

A good strategy for any multiple choice question is to look through the options and see which, if any, we can eliminate on the spot. Starting from the top, I don't know the context of the passage, so I can't necessarily eliminate the first option. For the second option, I would look back to the passage, specifically where the moon is mentioned. Anything about the moon's beauty? Not really, so we can probably count that option out. The third option actually looks rather good; the fairy does talk about a lot of different locations and specifically mentions 'wander[ing] everywhere.' But let's take a look at all the options, just in case there's a better one. The fourth option, like the first option, we can't necessarily disprove, but there's also nothing in the passage that directly supports it. What do you think about this kind of approach?
