B.
The mouse was unaware of the wolf looking down at him.
C.
The wolf was chasing a pine cone, which was shaped like a mouse.
D.
One cold, winter morning when I went sledding with my friend, I saw a wolf.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. One cold, winter morning when I went sledding with my friend, I saw a wolf.

Explanation:

It makes the most sense given the context of the paragraph. The sentences seem to be about a wolf protecting his territory.

Option A makes it seem like it would elaborate on the hunt the wolf goes on to get its prey, however this does not flow well with a wolf protecting his territory

Option B looks like it was taken from the middle of a passage. No where do the sentences discuss a mouse so this would not be the answer

Option C once again does not mention a mouse further nor a chase.
