Read the following passages. Determine what event is likely to occur next.
Explain your answer using textual evidence.
As Frank marched through the desert, the high winds blew sand at speeds that
stung his exposed skin. He looked back and could see his footprints for hundreds
of feet, beyond that the winds had blown them away. He had no idea how long or
how far he had walked. He turned his back to the wind and opened his canteen.
He attempted to pour it into his mouth, but there was not a drop. He rolled his
tongue around the nozzle of the canteen, but it was bone dry. Frank dropped the
canteen in the sand and continued walking. His steps slowed. He was getting
dizzy. The sun's rays seemed to only increase in intensity throughout the day. It
hung high overhead and punished all that resided in the desert beneath it. Frank
was lightheaded. He felt his knees get wobbly.
