Question

Read this passage:

The sound of horses' hooves hitting cracked earth
reverberated around the walls of the canyon. A lone eagle
swooped overhead as the band of cowboys galloped along
the narrow stream cutting through the landscape. During
the rainy season, the stream would become a thundering
river, sweeping the rocks and tumbleweeds away in a
harsh current. But now, with the stream nearly dry, the men
on horses wondered whether it would even provide them
with enough water for their journey.
