We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. the ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. it looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. the ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there. read this line from the text: it looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. what does this line suggest about the narrator? the narrator likes lots of frosting. the narrator thinks about different kinds of soil. *i was thinking it was this one? the narrator prefers sand to mud. the narrator has been thinking a lot about food.

You are correct, the Narrator thinks about different kinds of soil!

Hope I helped!

The narrator likes lots of frosting

Explanation: In the line provided, the narrator prefers to have more frosting on their cake.  In that line, only that line, the narrator is talking only and specifically about cake.  It is not D, the narrator has been thinking a lot about food.  If they are thinking about food, what kind of food?  If they prefer sand to mud, that is not right.  How would the narrator be thinking about different kinds of soil if he or she is talking about cake?

The main point or way to find the answer is to look at what the line is.  The line is specifically what the narrator is talking about.  The whole story could be about sand, but that line itself is talking about cake and the amount of frosting needed.
