Read the following excerpt from The First Men in the Moon, then answer the question below. I entered the copse, dashing from one tree to another and clinging to them, and for a space I sought him in vain. Then amidst a heap of smashed branches and fencing that had banked itself against a portion of his garden wall I perceived something stir. Which of the choices below provides the best clue to the meaning of the underlined word, "copse"? "clinging to them" "dashing from one tree to another" "I sought him in vain" "I perceived something stir"
