He stopped, backed up, and entered a narrow dirt road almost hidden by trees. Five hundred yards down, the road ran parallel to a fenced-in field. Charlie parked in a cleared area deeply rutted by frozen tractor tracks. The gate was locked. In the spring, Andy thought, there will be cows here, and a dog that chases them, but now the field was unmarked and bare. What does the setting in this passage help convey?
Andy’s desire to get away from the field
Andy’s discomfort in the cold wilderness
Charlie’s anticipation about the upcoming hunt
Charlie’s anxiety about driving on the frozen ground
