Mason Mack · Answer 1

It's either C or D, but I'm pretty sure it's D

Explanation:

The reason I say D is because in the 1st paragraph, they way he says the paragraph makes it sound light and in the second one the way that he says. "It's so young it totters when she licks it with her tongue." It makes it sound playful.
