Read the following text, then answer the question. Passage: Martin's Camping Adventure Martin and his mom were getting ready to go camping.

"Sleeping in a tent with no TV? That's fun?" "Yes!" Mom said. "We can go hiking, make a campfire, and cook hot dogs outside!" When they got to the campsite, they unpacked everything from the car. Martin noticed the sky getting dark and cloudy. "Looks like it's going to rain," he said. Suddenly, there was a loud clap of thunder. KABOOM! "Oh no!" Mom said. "Let's hurry and set up the tent!" As they were putting up the tent, the rain began. They scrambled inside, where Martin played his video game while Mom made peanut butter sandwiches.
