Sorry for asking, but which book are you talking about?
Answer:
To help the reader understand the intense pressure of the situation.
Explanation:
Catherine Thimmesh's "Team Moon: How 400,000 People Landed Apollo 11 on the Moon," tells the story of how a team of experts helped in the success of the Apollo 11 mission. The book delves into the challenges faced and how they were overcome by the whole team.
In the given excerpt from the text, the author reveals the problem faced by the team in <em>"burping"</em> the engine. While it seemed dangerous to do that, the opinion to abort the mission was <em>"quickly overruled by the Grumman and NASA leadership"</em> who instead decided that <em>"it would be safe to gently, gently burp the engine."</em>
And by presenting the scene with a problem-solution text structure, the <u>author helps the reader understand the intense pressure that the situation presents.</u>
