Read the following passage and then select the correct answer to the question below: THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS CHAPTER 1:

Thrill Cruise By Edmond Hamilton Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons. 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. The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport. "That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it." "We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party." The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!" Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl." "Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed. With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city. The writer’s description of Lance Kenniston’s expression sets up
A) the idea that he is under a lot of stress because he wants something he can’t get
B) a reason to like him because he is described as an attractive, friendly person
C) the main suggestion that Lance Kenniston is a cruel person with evil intentions
D) a new problem to replace the one that appeared at the beginning of the passage

1st person: is a mode of storytelling in which a storyteller recounts events from their own point of view using the first person such as "I", "us", "our" and "ourselves".

2nd person: is often used for giving directions, offering advice, or providing an explanation. This perspective allows the writer to make a connection with his or her audience by focusing on the reader. Second person personal pronouns include you, your, and yours.

3rd person: the narrator exists outside of the story and addresses the characters by name or as "he/she/they" and "him/her/them." Types of third person perspective are defined by whether the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of any or all of the characters.

I’m not sure about the last question like I don’t know what it is asking but yeah here’s this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is one possible theme of the giving tree
vampirchik [111]

Self-Sacrifice and Love could be possible themes of the story "The giving tree". The story shows that to make people that you love happy you may need to give something up which is important to you. The Giving Tree would be a touchy-feely story full of kindness and generosity. There's definitely kindness and generosity to be found in the story, but it's pretty one-sided. Sure, in the beginning, the tree loves the boy and the boy loves the tree, but things go kind of sideways from there. The boy doesn't always treat the tree well, but never the less the tree continues to love and give to the boy in order to keep him happy.
