The setting illustrated in the first two paragraphs of the passage can best be described as rough and unpleasant

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The setting that has been shown in the two paragraphs which have been described above, show that the passengers who were on this path did not have a very comfortable setting.

The afternoons were very hot and the sun was direct on their faces making it tough for them to walk. The path was also hilly and was not smooth. It was a rough path making it tough to travel on that path because of the terrain of that path.
