Answer 1

The question is based on a literary excerpt where Jody, after waking up, the scene unfolds into the dark environment. The cinematic transition compares the darkness "as though he looked up into the soft gray breast of a mourning dove”. Understanding phrases or expressions by drawing a comparison, or rendering an implication or symbolic value out of a specified reference in literature is at the heart of analysis in this domain. Painting an analogy with mourning dove suggests a sense of peace that Jody experiences with the surrounding darkness which focuses on his contentment and blithe spirit amidst of the nature. The options given demand to classify an explanation to Jody's analogy. Option C denotes a state that reflects Jody's adaptability and suited to be in harmony with the nature any given time, which aptly serves to validate the similarity.
