Answer 2

do you have a guess as to what it is?

Answer 3

and i'm guessing the underlined clause starts at even though right?

Answer 4

I was planning to go with A if nobody answered.

Answer 5

well lets look at it.
Aunt Josey served hot soup "even though it was the middle of summer"
it seems like an adverb because she ( Aunt Josey) is doing something, I believe they are hinting towards what she did during the middle of summer.
does that make sense?
