almost 12 feet deep, we can't walk around much. The
bullets and grenades rain down upon us at even the

stillness, waiting, trying not to make a sound.

Which statement best represents the main idea of this source?

O A. Fighting in a World War I trench was boring and dangerous.
B. Trenches were used extensively in World War I.
C. Trenches are often dug almost 12 feet deep.
O D. The soldier's mother is worried about her son.
