答案：BACBA

解析：

1. 根据原文，爪印距离尸体约20米，没有人想到去查看这么远的地方（对应原文：The footprints were about twenty metres from the body, and nobody thought of looking so far away.）。故选B。

2. 题干的意思是“那天晚上天气怎样？”。摩梯末医生说，当晚天气潮湿寒冷，但并没真正下雨（对应原文：It was wet and cold, thought it wasn't actually raining.）。所以正确答案是A。

3. 题干的意思是“树篱中的栅门通向何处？”。故事中说道，它通向沼地（对应原文：There is a small gate, which leads to the moor.）。所以选C。
