Daniel [21]

Answer:

The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is:

B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford.

Explanation:

After reading this passage, we can see how the focus is on the weather. Even if it is described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times, the author's point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. We are told about the clouds, gusts of wind, the sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit... Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.
