Answer:
In "A Native of Winby," time has changed Laneway's childhood home. He finds that the house is no longer standing. So Option D is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Sarah Orne Jewett's "A Native of Winby," Senator Joseph K. Laneway, after fifty years, visited Winby, the New England town where he was born and where he lived for thirteen years before his family moved to the west. Laneway became a successful businessman, a Civil War general, and a leading United States senator. On visiting Winby, he was surprised and pleased to know that no one recognized him. His anonymity allowed him to make three quiet pilgrimages before the public came to know about him. One of the pilgrimages was a trip to his childhood home where he spent many years. He found his house in ruins and also the remnants of the rose bush his mother missed in the West. This evoked memories that made him linger at the spot for a long time.
