Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer: The author describes the dangerous situation that the characters in the story are facing.

Step-by-step explanation: As we read each part from the passage, we see that all of them contain one thing. And, what exactly is that? We see that all of them contain the situation that they're all experiencing at the moment.

Cited text: “I shouldn’t think of this as easy. I know what I need to do here, but I could lose one these men if just one thing goes wrong.”

We can see that this is a present statement, and that something is going wrong between those people. I'm supposing it's a fire or something of that nature.
