Answer: B. interrupts the repeated sound of the wolf's footsteps.

Explanation:

''And she, Little Daughter, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-patin away home. She is so close to the gate now. And this time she hears PIT-A-PAT, PIT-A-PAT, PIT-A-PAT coming on quick behind her.''

This is where we can see that the wolf was still following her but since she was so close to the gate she hurried up and shut it in front of his face. If there was not gate, she would not escape from him. This kind of sound is exciting because it is showing to readers that she escaped from wolf in the last second. This word is telling the readers that it is finally over.

''Little Daughter slips inside the gate. She shuts it - CRACK! PLICK! - right in that big, bad wolf's face.

She sweetest, goodest, safe!''
