Where does Doctor Nakazawa practice his medicine?

• A. In the city
• B. In the countryside
• C. In the town
• D. On a ship

Answer: (C)

The setting shows him as a local physician embedded in a community. Doctor Nakazawa is described as practicing in the town, which means his clinic serves the nearby residents and he interacts with people who know him personally. This positioning matters because it creates a sense of immediacy and trust, with medical decisions unfolding in a familiar, small-scale environment.

If he were in the city, the scene would shift to a larger hospital or a more impersonal system; in the countryside, the dynamic would hinge on rural access and isolation; on a ship, it would imply a nomadic, travel-based practice. The text places him in the town to align with the story’s focus on local relationships and everyday life.
