Plsssssss help meeeee I’m being timed!!!!!

In an interview years later, Armstrong praises the "hundreds of thousands" of people behind the project. "Every guy that's setting up the tests, cranking the torque wrench, and so on, is saying, man or woman, 'If anything goes wrong here, it's not going to be my fault.'"

So they came by the thousands - kids really, twenty-somethings, a few in their thirties. No one knew for sure how to get to the moon, how to land, or get home. But their goal was clear-cut, and that was enough. That gave them purpose: a reason to puzzle out the problems and seek solutions rather than sleep.

Answer:

Both passages describe the people involved in the lunar landing in the following way:

A. They show that many people worked on the project and demonstrate how hard they worked.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both passages refer to the number of people involved in the project of sending men to the moon as being large: "hundreds of thousands" in passage 1, and "thousands" in passage 2.

Also, both passages make sure to convey those people were hard-workers. Passage 1 has Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) himself, the first man to set foot on the moon, complimenting the hard work of everyone involved. According to him, they made sure to do everything right. Passage 2 states that they wouldn't even sleep when searching for solutions to reach their goal.

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option:

A. They show that many people worked on the project and demonstrate how hard they worked.
