Read the sentence from exploring the titanic. I made plans and tried without much luck to raise the money I would need to mount the kind of expedition that I could find the wreck of the titanic.

What does the word expedition mean in this sentence?

Answer 1

B - Journey

The text mentions trying to 'mount an expedition' to try and find the Titanic. When explorers go on an expedition, they take a journey to wherever they are exploring (example: and expedition up Mount Everest)

Answer 2

Journey

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "expedition" in this passage means "journey." "Expedition" most often refers to a journey with the purpose of exploration and research. It often implies that there is someone unknown to be discovered, and therefore, it is often used to name adventurous and pioneering journeys. In this case, the author wanted to mount an expedition to find the Titanic, which means that he wanted to organize a journey to achieve this ground-breaking goal.
