"Lanlan?" Xinxin gasped, surprised at the sight of the lanky girl on the footpath above, her braids shaking with laughter. "Why are you here ?" asked Didi, equally startled. Although they saw their cousin often, it was always at the Bao's large ancestral hall in Tangyue Town across the mountain; she'd never deigned to come to tiny Baojia Village before. The twins were surprised to see their cousin,Lanlan, because A the mountains were difficul to navigate B the village was not listed on any map C they thought she was away at school D she had never been to their village

## Step 1<br />The problem is a reading comprehension question. The text provides information about two characters, Xinxin and Didi, who are surprised to see their cousin, Lanlan, in their village. The reason for their surprise is that they have never seen her in their village before.<br />## Step 2<br />The text does not provide any information about the difficulty of navigating the mountains, whether the village is listed on any map, or whether Lanlan was away at school. Therefore, these options (A, B, C) are not correct.<br />## Step 3<br />The correct answer is option D, which states that Lanlan had never been to their village before. This is consistent with the information provided in the text.
