the answer is true, hope this helps
I'm sorry I can't give a more specific answer, since I don't understand the story, but if the guy who asked where she was going is the antagonist of the story, then if the girl need to get past the antagonist, then she could find the marker that was "lost".
I may be too late.
I have never had this assignment so I may not understand that well.
Have a good day and week!
Id say like, gloom, depressed, or despair
