Which detail best creates an effect of tension in the plot?
African Camp Fires
by Stewart Edward White (adapted excerpt)
Late that night, we were awakened byà creaking and snorting and the flash of torches passing. We looked out to see a donkey transport toiling
slowly along, travelling thus at night to avoid the terrific day heats. The two-wheeled carts with their rugged drivers looked very picturesque in
the flickering lights. We envied them vaguely, their defined route that permitted night travel, and sank back to sleep.
In the morning, however, we found they had left with us new responsibilities in the shape of an elderly Somalian man very sick, and down with
some form of a fever. This was indeed a responsibility that we had not accounted for in our travels. It was manifestly impossible for us to
remain there with him; we would all suffer from thirst, as our supply was dramatically lowered from our travels. It was equally impossible to
take him with us, for he was quite unfit to travel under the sun. Finally, as the best solution, we left him with five gallons of water, food, and
some quinine, together with the advice to rest until night, and then to follow his companions along the beaten track to catch up with them, for
they were surely resting during the day.
