Explanation:

Let's take one more look at the original sentences:

Few people or animals were awake at this hour. It was Peter's favorite time of day. He moved quietly down a path, noticing the sun peeking through the branches overhead and the soft, moist ground underfoot.

There is nothing in the sentences that evokes disgust, fear, or boredom. If you pay attention to the highlighted words, you will see they help create a sense of peacefulness, tranquility, and happiness. Peter is surrounded by nature, and nature is kind to him. The sun is not shining intensely, but only peeking. The ground is soft and moist. This is Peter's favorite time; he is happy as moves quietly, undisturbed. With that in mind, we can easily eliminate options A through C - which do evoke disgust, fear, and boredom - and choose option D:

Few people or animals were awake at this hour. It was Peter's favorite time of day. He moved quietly down a path, noticing the sun  peeking through the branches overhead and the soft, moist ground underfoot. He and his thoughts continued to wander as he smiled and breathed in the  fragrant morning air.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
