Lofty ambition means high hopes
(He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.)
Answer:
The phrase that should be included to improve the clarity of the sentence is:
A. meaning they touch the snow only in the middle of the board.
Explanation:
Someone who does not snowboard will probably find the original sentence to be a little difficult to understand. We do not know what a camber is. Thus, for the author of the sentence to improve its clarity, that is, to make the sentence understandable to anyone who reads it, he must explain what a camber is.
Among the options, the only one that does that is the first one. The other options only explain that a camber is a technology used in snowboarding, but we still do not know what it is or what it does. However, the first choice lets us know that an inverted camber means the board only touches the snow in its middle. Therefore, it improves clarity.

Answers:
<em>1. Lance Kenniston needed a ship to get to an asteroid, but nothing was available.</em>
The most important detail of the passage is the fact that Lance Kenniston needs a ship urgently, but cannot find it. The name of his friend, or his physical characteristics are not vital to the action. Similarly, the name of the port is not the most important part of the passage. Finally, although the characters' desperation is important, it is even more valuable to know the reason for their desperation.
<em>2. A. It tells readers there is something important happening on that asteroid. </em>
If the characters are desperate to get back to the asteroid, we can assume something important is going to happen there within the next two weeks. We do not know whether they are planning on taking it over, whether they are at the wrong location, or whether Kenniston has not tried hard enough. Therefore, none of the other options is possible.
