The narrator suggests Jody’s youthfulness in the passage below (paragraph 7) mainly by .

A spring of delight boiled up within him as irresistibly as the spring of the branch. He lifted his arms and held them straight from his shoulders like a water-turkey's wings. He began to whirl around in his tracks. He whirled faster and faster until his ecstasy was a whirlpool, and when he thought he would explode with it, he became dizzy and closed his eyes and dropped to the ground and lay flat in the broom-sage. The earth whirled under him and with him. He opened his eyes and the blue April sky and the cotton clouds whirled over him. Boy and earth and trees and sky spun together. The whirling stopped, his head cleared and he got to his feet. He was light-headed and giddy, but something in him was relieved, and the April day could be borne again, like any ordinary day.

Answer:

i am not really sure but i think it is A

Step-by-step explanation:

A makes more sense since comparing Jody to a water-turkey doesn't describe anything. C doesn't make sense either since it is mostly talking about him being joyful and dizzy. D is talking about how springtime and Jody are similar not how his youthfulness is.
