In this passage, Pip is "afraid of it all and beginning to cry" because __________.
Korvikt [17]

Answer: B. He is, for the first time, aware of the world as a bleak and savage place.

Explanation:

Pip heard a terrible voice only after he began to cry, so D is not a correct choice. His parents and brothers had died a long time before the event described in the excerpt (so B would be wrong). Pip was not lost on the marshes (so C would be wrong). The answer would be A.

Here is support in the text:

My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have  been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for  certain, that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip,  late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that  Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were  also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that  the low leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind  was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and  beginning to cry, was Pip."
