It conveys Shakti's appreciation for her long-term friendships

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. It emphasizes Shakti's sense of belonging in the landscape.The underlined portion of the text describes how the trees seemed to welcome Shakti as an old friend and how she reached the river-side, suggesting a sense of familiarity and belonging in the landscape. The text does not indicate that Shakti feels uncomfortable or has lost her sense of direction in the woods. Additionally, the text does not mention any long-term friendships, so option D is not supported by the text.
