D. He clearly establishes a Puritan New England setting

Explanation:

"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by writer Washington Irving and tells of a fictional legend that resembles the former German legend of Faust. In it, the Devil lures Tom Walker with the promise of treasure buried somewhere in the marshes near Boston.

Through a skeptical narrator, Irving captivates several audiences: one who believes in myth and one who laughs at it. The rural setting of history allows him to address relevant issues such as capitalism and consumerism, which were becoming dominant in American society at the time. To adapt the German tale and make it purely American Irwing had the genius of clearly establishing a puritanical New England scene.

answer: the first one climax ,the second   is plot

explanation:

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
