C.) The carnival entertainers kept the audience engaged with wild and crazy events.

D.) The carnival is the only place that an audience can feel tension and excitement.

This question refers to the story "An Unexplainable Occurrence" by Elizabeth Kibler. One of the reasons why the setting of the carnival influences the tension and excitement that the narrator feels is because the carnival is extremely lively and wild. The narrator tells us that the trapeze artist swung perilously from the tent and that the ringmaster's whip splinter the air. The excitement that the narrator feels is conveyed to the reader through the effective use of language.
