Use the paragraph to answer the question.

SCENE I.—Michael wipes his sweat-drenched face with an old rag for what feels like the thousandth time this morning. The porch fan is on its highest setting, but it does nothing to relieve the air of its heavy, stickiness. The glass of cool lemonade he had poured in the kitchen is dripping condensation onto the old, brown wicker table. He rises from the rocking chair as he sees a bright red car pull into the driveway.

Which inference can be made about the setting?

Question
Use the stanza from "Recuerdo" to answer the question.

We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—

But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,

We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;

And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.
