Question

Read the Passage:


The old mountain road was nearly impossible to see at night. Thick fog wrapped around the trees, and the narrow path twisted sharply along the edge of the cliff. As Emma drove higher, her headlights revealed only a few feet of pavement ahead. When her car suddenly stalled, she realized she had no cell service and no nearby houses for miles.

Forced to step out into the cold, Emma followed the road on foot, moving slowly to avoid slipping on the wet ground. Each sound echoed through the fog, making her heart race. If the road had been busy or well-lit, she could have waited safely in her car—but alone on the mountain, she knew she had to keep moving to find help.
