Read the following passage from “The Cold Equations” He winced involuntary from the words that were so like an echo of his own thoughts. How long? He didn’t know; he would have to ask the ships computers. Each EDS was given a meager surplus of fuel to compensate for unfavorable conditions within the atmosphere and relatively little fuel was being consumed for the time being.

He had only to give the computers the new data; the girls weight and the exact time at which he had reduced the deceleration to .10. What can we infer the pilot is feeling? A. Guilt B. Anger C. Fear D. Happiness
