Question

The hike began early in the morning on a dusty trail about a quarter of a mile from our campsite. The sun was warm and golden, but the wind was rough and icy. I was thankful for the layers of cotton clothing under my thin nylon jacket. As Jasper and I continued along the trail, the trees got closer together and the plants grew thicker. We could hear the faint sound of running water in the distance. Without talking, Jasper and I walked in a rhythmic, steady pace. I watched the trail so that I could avoid the tree roots and large rocks that dwelt in the pathway. I noticed how the sun painted the ground with blotches of white light amidst the shadows. Absorbed with my own thoughts, I didn’t realize that Jasper had stopped until he called my name.
I turned and went back to where he had crouched. His fingers were brushing the dirt off a flat stone surface. I looked closely and saw intricate symbols carved into the sparkling black stone. I helped Jasper clear the debris off the unusual stone. It was the size of a large garbage can lid. While Jasper dug around the edges, I tried to pry the stone loose. Finally, we worked together to lift the stone from the ground. To our amazement, there was a dark hole underneath the stone. Jasper shined his flashlight down into the hole and discovered a ladder, but he could not see how deep the hole was.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. I watched the trail so that I could avoid the tree roots and large rocks that dwelt in the pathway.

Explanation:

This is the answer because it describes where the person is. It says the word "trail" which tells us that he is on a trail, and there are also things saying that there were tree roots and large roocks that dwelt in the pathway, that means that there was a trail, with tree roots and large rocks in the pathway. This one can describe the most, hence, this is the answer.

If this answer helped you, please mark me brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It's talking about the setting, not the stone. The rest of them have nothing to do with detail, so it would narrow it down to B and D, and as I said before, it's talking about the setting. I hope I helped!
