Lets read each sentence and determine which one has an opinion in it.
1) Thomas Paine believed that reconoiliation with Britain was no longer possible. This can be proved because others beliefs are sometimes said aloud or conveyed in such a way they can be proven true.
2) Reconciliation had been attempted and had failed. This can be proven aswell.
3) It was unfortunate that Paine called for action. You cannot proove that this was unfortunate. This is most likely the answer.
4) He urged the colonists to take up arms against the British. This is clearly a fact, there is proof somewhere that this happened.
Your best option here is 3. You cannot prove that it was unfortunate from every perspective possible.

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.
