Read this excerpt from a short story. Liam navigated the busy park, scanning the crowd for his friends. They had agreed to meet at the water slide, and soon the towering steps came into view. He spotted Rachel and Marco by the inner tubes, and soon the three were racing to the top of the slide. There were over a hundred wooden stairs to climb, but the friends usually climbed them without pause. This time, however, their progress was slowed by a surprising mid-day crowd. Spiraling up the stairs were dozens of eager park patrons, each gripping a slippery tube. Liam shook his head and told his friends they would need a little more patience than usual waiting for their favorite view from the top. What complication is introduced in the excerpt? Marco is unable to locate his friends in the busy park. The slide's wooden stairs are in need of repair. Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line. Park patrons are not following the rules of the slide.

    Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line.

    In the passage, Liam meets his friends at the water slide. They grab tubes so that they can use them to go down the water slide. They start up the stairs to the water slide and realize they won't be able to speed to the top like the usually do. The narrator says, "Spiraling up the stairs were dozens of eager park patrons." Also, Liam tells "his friends they would need a little more patience than usual waiting." These two details show that there is a long line to go down the slide.
