Answer
A
the natural flow of the turtle’s actions.
B
the turtle’s difficulty building a nest.
C
how the turtle views the seasons.
D
how the sand feels to the turtle.
Explanation
The repeated “s” sound appears as the turtle moves through a natural sequence: life comes to her, she acts each spring, and she crawls up the hill. Its soft, flowing quality echoes the steady, unhurried movement of these actions. So the sound most likely relates to the natural flow of the turtle’s actions, not difficulty building a nest or the feel of sand.
