_____________________________________

Answer- D- The visual portrayed here gives the reader, who may be unfamiliar with this terrain, a clear idea of what the land looks like. Although, foreshadowing may also be present, without any other information provided from the novel, you, the test taker, must utilize only the information that you are being given.
