<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.

Explanation:
Dear Paul,
You may be wondering why I was so hard on you, it was because I was you.
My parents died while I was in high school and I was sent to live with my aunt. I skipped school, and spent a lot of my time with a shady crowd, which I ended up dropping out of school so that I could earn money to support myself. It wasn't until years later I realized that I never expected much out of myself. If you're reading this letter then you figured out what I did much sooner than I did.
Yours Truly,
Roger
