I was in the National Forest with my camera. The day was crisp, and the leaves were turning gold and red. When I spotted the whi
te-tailed buck, I froze. He wasn't more than 15 yards from where I was standing. The wind must have been right, because he kept on browsing the mossy ground. I lifted my camera very slowly. Carefully, holding my breath, I lifted the camera to my eye. Turning the focus ring, I framed the deer's head. Just as I was ready to press the shutter release, the buck raised his head. He was looking my way with wide eyes. Click. I took the picture. An instant later, the deer bounded away into the forest. He took off, but I had the shot. Today, the framed photo of that buck hangs above our fireplace. A. The author was fortunate to have his camera with him.
B. The author was worried the wind would disturb his shot.
C. The deer was not able to pick up the scent of the author.
D. The deer was clearly not afraid of humans.
The answer is D. We can conclude that the answer is not A because seconds after, the deer becomes scared after noticing the cameraman and leaves. The answer could not have been C, as it has nothing to do with the wind. B also is not likely the answer because the fact that the deer continued to eat moss on the ground shouldn't have anything to do with the wind ruining the cameraman's shot.....;)
It is suggesting that the rain is coming down very heavily. The rain is a deluge, soaking everything with large, heavy, water-filled droplets quickly falling. The is based off the original idiom "It's raining cats and dogs" to indicate that it is pouring rain. It takes the hyperbole one step farther to add heavier and larger animals to show the amount of rainfall.
