Answer 1

The detail from the text that best supports the inference that Daniel is having feelings similar to the narrator’s is:

Daniel has tunneled down to hide under the blankets.

This detail suggests that Daniel is seeking to escape or hide from the overwhelming feelings and memories of what they have just endured, similar to the narrator's feelings of dread and inability to feel relief despite their survival.
