Emilio took the cap off his head, dropped the baseball bat, and rested his elbows on the fence. It wasn't that he couldn't find the ball. It was sitting right in the middle of the lawn, just beyond the fence. Emilio could probably get a running start, grab the top of the fence, and flip right over it. But there was a dog, a large Rottweiler with a spiked collar. He sat under an awning a few feet away from the ball. He looked at Emilio and let out a menacing growl.

What was Emilio doing right before the text begins.

• Emilio was playing baseball.

• Emilio was walking his dog.

• Emilio was trespassing.

• Emilio was racing his friends.
