The morning was cool and crisp. Fenton rode his bike down the big hill toward the school. Fluffy silver clouds overhead promised rain or snow to come. Fenton’s breath puffed in the air as he zipped over the chilly concrete path. Where might this passage benefit from the use of a more specific description instead of a more general one? (1 point)
