Question

Which answer option most likely describes a nonfiction account of battling

the fierce elements in Antarctica?
O A. In Full Sled Ahead, 17-year-old Tobias's strength and stamina are
challenged as he attempts to compete against some of the best
dogsled teams in a race to the South Pole and, in the process,
learns to trust in others.

O B. Left Behind introduces readers to the unforgettable character of
Earl Hanforth, a stowaway on a ship to Antarctica who becomes
abandoned on the frozen continent and must learn to fight the
elements and his own self-doubts until rescuers arrive months
later.

O C. Judith Torres had never been one to let other people's opinions
stop her, but in Flight of Fancy, she must decide whether her goal
of becoming the first woman to fly solo across Antarctica is more
important than her blossoming romance with Sir Alfred Pidgeon.

O D. The White Death relays the struggles of the underprepared Robert
Scott party as they attempt to reach the South Pole on foot and
return to their ship with limited food and supplies.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: This title sounds the most likely to be a fiction novel since it is unlikely that a 17-year-old participated casually in a dogsled race in the Antarctic. Moreover, the tone of the supposed novel description is quite light-hearted and does not reflect the danger noted in the other descriptions.

The other three books are all reports or documentaries that adapted real stories to story form and therefore contain geographical and historically sound facts.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is D.
