Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It is an area deep in the country where many wild animals live.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given excerpt is from the collection of folktales The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales written by Virginia Hamilton in 1985.

Here we can see the deer hunted by a man with hounds. Scared, it runs and sees an alligator preying on it. When it comes to other details, there are the broom-grass field and the river.

There is nothing that tells us that a farming town is near, that it's a muddy swamp where many people live, or that it's an area deep in the forest sometime in the future. What we can see for sure is that there are many wild animals there.

Thus, the correct option is the third one.
