Read the excerpt from Exploring the Titanic."I’m sure every diver dreams about the Titanic," said the speaker at the Sea Rovers meeting. "To dive down to that fabulous ship would be the ultimate thrill in underwater exploration. But she’s probably too far down for anybody to ever find her– far less explore her." Why does the author most likely include this quotation from the Sea Rovers meeting?
Answer
A
to show that the Titanic can never truly be completely found
B
to help explain why he was so driven to discover the Titanic
C
to provide details about his interest in historical shipwrecks
D
to help describe how divers are different from other people
Explanation
The speaker says that finding and exploring the Titanic would be an “ultimate thrill,” but doubts anyone could reach it. That comment helps explain why the author became so determined to discover the ship and prove it could be found. Choice B best matches this purpose; the quotation is not mainly about divers’ differences or other shipwrecks.
