D. so that she can steal the nickel that has fallen from his pocket

Answer 1

Answer: D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Phoenix is districting the man so she can steal the nickel that has fallen from his pocket and she is doing that by focusing him on dogs and the dogfight.

"She gave a little cry and clapped her hands and said, "Git on away from here, dog! Look! Look at that dog!" She laughed as if in admiration. "He ain't scared of nobody. He a big black dog." She whispered, "Sic him!"

The noise of the dog and fight did distract the hunter and she is getting the nickel.
