Question

Sasha had everything she needed for her camping trip: sleeping bag, tent, water filter, and pots and pans. Her best friends, Carla and Joe, were already at Lake Swan, and after a short, two-hour drive into the hills, she'd be there with them. Sasha carried her gear into the kitchen to talk to her brother Wayne.
"I can still use your truck, right, Wayne?"

"Yeah, sure. Just remember the gas gauge doesn't work, so you'll have to keep track in your head."

"O.K. See you Sunday!" Sasha said, half listening as she grabbed the keys from Wayne and skipped out the door.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. "Yeah, sure. Just remember the gas gauge doesn't work, so you'll have to keep track in your head."

Explanation:

This is the section that foreshadows that Sasha will most likely run out of gas. In these lines, we learn that Sasha is going camping. However, in order to do so, she has to borrow a car from her brother Wayne. He agrees, but reminds her that the gas gauge does not work. This seems an unnecessary piece of information to add, unless the author wanted it to have some relevance in the story. The fact that Sasha did not pay attention to his words confirms that she will most likely run out of gas.
