Question

Passage:

On November 14th, Clark and Gass wrote in their journals:

“The weather is the most disagreeable I had ever seen.”

“. . . the most disagreeable time I have experienced, confined on a temp[estuous] coast, wet, where I can neither get out to hunt, return to a better situation, or proceed on.”

What emotion do these two passages describe?

fear about facing the winter in an unknown area
frustration over the expedition’s delay
concern about crossing the Rocky Mountains
joy at finally reaching the end of the expedition

Answer 1

Answer: B, frustration over the expedition's delay

Explanation: Neither of the passages mention winter, or crossing the rocky mountains, and neither of the passages are joyful. Therefore we must conclude that the answer is frustration over the expedition's delay.
