Repeating the same line in paragraphs 5 and 11 adds to the development of the setting mainly by _________. 5 Now the watch was almost over, and still there was nothing unusual. Just the night, the stars, the biting cold, the wind that whistled through the rigging as the Titanic raced across the calm, black sea at 22 1/2 knots. 11 At this moment Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe was standing watch on the after bridge. For him too, it had been an uneventful night— just the sea, the stars, the biting cold.

What do the following lines mainly reveal about the Quartermaster Thomas Rowe (paragraph 11)?

When faced with the possibility of a life-threatening situation, people often downplay the danger.

Wealthy people are more likely to be involved in an accident at sea because they take fewer precautions.

Most people do whatever it takes to remain positive in the face of danger.

Traveling by sea is one of the most dangerous forms of transportation, both then and now.

Mrs. Walter B Stephenson recalled the first ominous jolt when she was in the San Francisco earthquake—then decided this wasn’t that bad.”

“The passengers in their cabins felt the jar too, and tried to connect it with something familiar.”

“It seemed stronger to some than to others.”

“Then he realized it was an iceberg, towering perhaps 100 feet above the water.”

Part A: Which of the following inferences about the stewards is best supported by the text (paragraphs 13-16)?

The stewards would gladly welcome time off while the ship is being repaired in in Belfast, Ireland.

The stewards wished they were upstairs with the passengers so that they could learn more about them.

The stewards will probably refuse to keep working unless they are treated better.

Many of the stewards didn’t want to go back home to their wives and families.

Which sentence from the Chapter excerpt best supports your answer to Part A?

“He recognized the kind of shudder a ship gives when she drops a propeller blade, and he knew this sort of mishap meant a trip back to the Harland & Wolff Shipyard at Belfast—with plenty of free time to enjoy the hospitality of the port.”

“It was not much, but enough to break the conversation and rattle the silver that was set for breakfast next morning.”

“Steward Johnson felt he knew what it was.”

“They were dining-saloon stewards, indulging in the time-honored pastime of all stewards off duty—they were gossiping about their passengers.”

Which meaning of bridge most closely matches its meaning in the passage below (paragraph 6)? Suddenly Fleet saw something directly ahead, even darker than the darkness. At first it was small (about the size, he thought, of two tables put together), but every second it grew larger and closer. Quickly Fleet banged the crow’s-nest bell three times, the warning of danger ahead. At the same time he lifted the phone and rang the bridge .

noun | a platform from which a pilot navigates a ship

noun | a piece of wood supporting the strings in a musical instrument

noun | a structure that provides a passage over a river, railway or road

Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe paces the deck.

Lookouts Fleet and Lee prepare themselves mentally for a possible crash into the iceberg.
