Answer:
to help explain why he was so driven to discover the Titanic
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from "Exploring the Titanic", the quote from a reporter is included which says that it must be the dre of every diver to find the Titanic, but it is probably impossible as she is sunk so deep into the sea that no one could possibly find her.
The author most likely include this quotation from the Sea Rovers meeting to help explain why he was so driven to discover the Titanic.
I think that the purpose of Daly's "Sixteen" is TO SERVE AS A LESSON TO OTHER GIRLS.
At 16, you think you know everything there is to know just like the character in the story. She always say's "I know...." and because of what she knew, she had expectations. She expected that the boy she met in the skating rink will call her after spending time with her, walking her home, and telling her that he'd call. She was emotionally invested but she got disappointed. The boy did not call and in the end of the story, she knew that he will never, ever, call.
The answer would be "Slowly and carefully." Hope this helps!
