Question

(The Yearling)

Answer 1

I have never read this story, so take my answer with a grain of salt, but by process of elimination and a little bit of logic I can safely rule out options A and B given the general definition of a clearing.  I hope this helps, if you can give me more information I might be able to give you a better answer.  I wish to help you as much as possible.  If this is sufficient, then have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

I don't know anything about this story but I asked a friend about and he told me D

Lets try with D and let me know if it was helped !
