Answer:
C. The story takes place during World War II, drawing parallels between Daisy’s bullies and the violent actions of Germany.
Explanation:
Susan Cooper's "Muffin" is a story about a bullied young girl who had no one to stand by her side except her mother. But one day, an old lady appeared while she was being bullied by Alice, and from then on she became the one other person Daisy goes to for help.
This story was set during the Second World War, culminating with the death of the old lady which made Daisy realize she needs to stand by herself and confront her bullies. Not only that, she needs to take care of Muffin, the old lady's dog who had also rescued her once from the bullying. This setting of the story alongside the war draws parallel to her bullying and Germany's violence against her enemies.
