(1.04, LC) Read the following passage and then select the correct answer to the question below: THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONSFrom CHAPTER 1: Thrill CruiseBy Edmond Hamilton He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined! A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston’s side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him. “What luck?” asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper. “It’s hopeless,” Kenniston answered heavily. “There isn’t a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here.” “The devil!” muttered Holk Or, dismayed. “What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?” “We can’t do that,” Kenniston answered. “You know we’ve got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We’ve got to get a ship here.” Desperation made Kenniston’s voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure. Which sentence provides the best summary of this excerpt?
