Directions: Read the passage and answer the question

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the desolate landscape. John, a seasoned explorer, surveyed the terrain. He knew he had to find shelter before nightfall. The wind howled, carrying with it the promise of an impending storm. With each step, the ground grew more uneven, making progress arduous.

 

Suddenly, John spotted a small cave nestled within a rocky outcrop. It seemed like a providential discovery. He hurried towards it, seeking refuge from the impending tempest. As he entered the cave, he noticed inscriptions on the walls. Ancient symbols, weathered by time, told stories of a forgotten civilization that once sought solace in these very rocks.

 

John's thoughts raced. These inscriptions could hold the key to understanding the mysteries of this barren land. With his notebook and flashlight, he meticulously transcribed each symbol, determined to decipher their meaning. The weight of the past hung heavy in the air, mingling with the scent of damp earth.

 

Hours passed, but John's determination did not waver. The inscriptions spoke of resilience, of a people who had faced hardships much like the harsh landscape outside. Their story resonated with John, who saw in their struggles a reflection of his own.
