Answer
A
They show how determined the turtle is.
B
They show that nature is guiding the turtle.
C
They show the life cycle of the turtle.
D
They show how the turtle feels about her environment.
Explanation
The words “rain,” “soft wind,” and “gate” suggest that the turtle’s urge comes from the natural world and carries her forward. The poem says the wish is “old” and “blind,” so it is an instinct rather than a deliberate plan. This connects to the message that nature guides the turtle.
