Explanation:

In literature, the term "diction" is used to suggest the specific words/ linguistic choices that the author/writer uses in his work. This form is used to convey the type of setting, idea, theme, or point of view to tell the story.

This style of speaking or writing through the use of selective or some specific words helps in determining or defining the literary work. And while the setting is the geographical time or place where the story or event takes place, diction further helped in creating or specifying the description of the exact time or place.
