Answer

D

Explanation

The passage describes Mary, a young girl, who finds an overgrown hidden garden and becomes deeply involved in tending to it. The text highlights her odd and determined nature, her absorption in the task, and how she becomes more pleased with her work every hour, indicating a growing satisfaction and interest rather than fatigue or boredom. The passage does not suggest that Mary is hiding to avoid chores or that she is bored with the work. It also does not explicitly state that her purpose in clearing the garden is to create a play space, although her work is likened to a "fascinating sort of play." The central theme revolves around her satisfaction and absorption in the garden work, which aligns with option (D).
