Question

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

Which detail from the excerpt best identifies a
problem?
The heavier the spacecraft, the harder it is to launch.
And fuel is heavy. So it was critical to pinpoint the fuel
needed, add a cushion, then take no more than
necessary. But now, because the landing was taking
far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone.
Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as
he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible
only because they wanted him to make the landing.
But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all
likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon. So they
were trying to time it to the last possible second before
calling an abort-calling off the landing.
And fuel is heavy
O the fuel was almost gone
they wanted him to make the landing
they were trying to time it to the last possible
second

Answer 1

B) by taking only the amount of fuel needed and a little extra

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

b) The fuel was almost gone

Step-by-step explanation:

Its not A because the fuel being heavy was a problem that has already passed.

Its not C because him needing to make the landing was the goal being hindered by the problem (aka the lack of fuel)

Its not D because that is the solution not the issue
