We talked just as easily as we had in the past, when we would sit in the field behind Joan’s house atop the rabbit hutch and discuss our friends and our hopes for the future.

NO CHANGE
in the field atop the rabbit hutch behind Joan’s house
atop the rabbit hutch in the field behind Joan’s house
behind Joan’s house in the field atop the rabbit hutch

Answer 1

Answer:

atop the rabbit hutch in the field behind Joan’s house.

is the right option

Explanation:

let’s go through the answers to see which describes that reality.

The original text (answer A) says, basically:

There are two people. They are sitting in a field. The field is behind Joan’s house. Either the field or Joan’s house is on top of the rabbit hutch. That makes no sense.

Answer B goes:

There are two people. They’re sitting in a field. The field is on top of the rabbit hutch… ok, that’s also wrong.

Answer D has:

There are two people. They are sitting behind Joan’s house. They are in a field. The field is on top of the rabbit hutch. That’s the same problem again.

Only answer C fits our mental image of the scene.
