Question

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and answer the question that follows:

Answer 1

Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.

The author states, "I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home." What is the author's implicit message in this statement?
A: The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice
B: The author thought Merlin's voice should seem like it is hooting
C: The author wished he had thought of Merlin's voice sooner
D: The author knew the voice would bring Merlin's voice to life
A?
