Look, I’m going to find us an overhang, I’ll whistle when I find one. Put the berries in the empty bag from the granola bars.” She glanced at the sky again. "And hurry. We don’t have long before the rain gets bad.”

How do the setting details advance the plot at this point in the story?

by allowing Latoya and Kim to comfortably rest

by allowing Latoya and Kim to enjoy the weather

by forcing Latoya and Kim to move their location

by forcing Latoya and Kim to abandon their food
