wyatt and his friends were on the arkansas river, riding a 10 - mile part of the rapids, or very fast - flowing water. the rapids passed through one of colorado’s deepest canyons. brody, their guide, had warned them that some parts of the river would be very difficult to ride.
what does the setting help you understand about the story?
wyatt and his friends are excellent swimmers.
wyatt and his friends are on a dangerous trip.
the arkansas river is very deep in some places.
the arkansas river is less than ten miles long.

Explanation:

El texto dice que Wyatt y sus amigos están en un tramo de 10 millas de rápidos y que la guía advirtió que algunas partes serían difíciles de navegar, lo que indica que el viaje es peligroso. Analicemos las opciones:

• "Wyatt and his friends are excellent swimmers": El texto no menciona su habilidad nadando.
• "Wyatt and his friends are on a dangerous trip": Coincide con la advertencia de la guía sobre partes difíciles de navegar en el río.
• "The Arkansas River is less than ten miles long": El texto dice que están en un tramo de 10 millas, no que el río entero sea menor a 10 millas.
• "The Arkansas River is very deep in some places": El texto menciona cañones profundos, pero la pregunta es sobre lo que la configuración (el viaje) ayuda a entender, y la advertencia es sobre la dificultad del viaje, no solo la profundidad.

Answer:

Wyatt and his friends are on a dangerous trip
