Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

The two horses had just lain down when a brood of ducklings which had lost their mother filed into the barn, cheeping feebly and wandering from side to side to find some place where they would not be trodden on. Clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down inside it and promptly fell asleep.

What does this passage tell us most about Clover?

She is anxious.
She is timid.
She is protective.
She likes ducklings.
