Correct Answer: across


Solution : The second option is correct.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the preposition across would be used to indicate what Aunt is calling Aunt. The word across functions as a preposition that connects the verb bellowing with its object, primaeval swamps.

This construction clarifies how the loud calls or arguments are occurring, drawing a parallel to mastodons bellowing across primaeval swamps.
