D) However, the idea never dawned on me that long before Columbus ever left Spain, real-life people lived for thousands of years in what would become the United States.
This sentence has the most clarity because none of the pieces interrupt another. It begins with the transition that shows what follows is a change. The next piece is the narrator talking about the idea that never dawned on her. By having this part first, we know that the information that follows is the idea that never entered her mind until now. Then the idea follows. In option C the idea statement is interrupted by the actual idea. In option B the idea statement is interrupted by however. Option A has the idea statement after the entire rest of the sentence which also doesn't work for clarity.

The details from the excerpt that best support the conclusion that the narrator is speaking directly to a child are the repetition of words and patterns and the description of how geographical features were made.

The creation of geographical features such as the Himalayan Mountains or the Great Indian Desert, and the Desert of Sahara are explained as the result of Eldest Magician´s breathing on Earth. Again, this serves two purposes: One to introduce the existence of these geographical features in a simple way ; the second and most important, to estimulate children´s imagination.
