Anderson wiped sweat from his forehead, cheeks, and nose. Heading across the long stretch of sand, he felt as if each foot weighed 10 pounds. His throat was dry as the sun beat down on him. Anderson couldn’t remember the last time he'd drank a sip of water - or had even seen water. His skin burned more with each passing minute, and he wondered if he’d ever find shade or see night again. "Ah!" Anderson gasped, sitting up in an instant. He stared left, right, up, and down, blinking in the pitch-black darkness. Peering outside, Anderson spotted thick snowflakes tumbling from the sky and sticking to the window. Snuggling into his pillow, Anderson pulled his fluffy blanket up to his chin, smiling even as the cold pricked his forehead, cheeks, and nose. He was asleep a minute later. Which sentence from paragraph one best describes the setting?

• Anderson wiped sweat from his forehead, cheeks, and nose.

• Heading across the long stretch of sand, he felt as if each foot weighed 10 pounds.

• His throat was dry as the sun beat down on him.

• Anderson couldn’t remember the last time he'd drank a sip of water - or had even seen water.
