develop the idea that the author's situation has become
dangerous.
1. "we were rapidly descending the glacier"
(Paragraph 3)
2. "We ran as much as we could" (Paragraph 3)

5. "The cold, wet weather, howling wind, and
failing light" (Paragraph 4)
6. "After studying the route for a long time"
(Paragraph 4)

Answer 1

I think the answers would be 1 "we were rapidly descending the glacier" (Paragraph 3) and 4. "we were trapped on an island of ice" (Paragraph 4), because it shows us how difficult and how bad the situation was. Difficult being, rapidly going down a glacier and Bad being stuck on an island of ice, not knowing what to do next. :)
