Grade 5 Writing Fiction

Read the passage from a narrative. Then answer the question.

The boat pitched from side to side. The sky grew darker, and the wind howled eerily through the trees. I looked around the boat, frantically searching for the paddle. Suddenly, I told Aaron to look out on the water where the paddle was floating.

Why does the author describe the sky and the wind?
  1. To tell the reader about the narrator
  2. To show the reader that a storm is coming
  3. To describe how the oar ended up in the water
  4. To explain why the narrator is in a boat with another person
