Question

when the expedition set out across the frozen tundra, few believed it would succeed. supplies were limited, and the crews morale wavered in the bitter cold. yet the leader, captain alvarez, remained undaunted, urging his men forward with stories of explorers who had conquered similar obstacles. at night, the men huddled together, listening to the wind howl outside the fragile tents. some questioned why they had undertaken such a perilous journey, while others clung to the notion that discovery often required sacrifice. one evening, alvarez shared a weathered map he had obtained from an old maritime archive. the map was marked with strange symbols, some of which the crew could not interpret. still, it provided hope: a reminder that others before them had ventured into the unknown. despite storms and exhaustion, the group pressed onward. each step was a test of endurance, each mile a measure of their resilience. though history would later record their journey as incomplete, their determination left a legacy admired by many. 2. which two details from the passage help determine the meaning of undaunted? \fragile tents\ \urging his men forward\ \conquered similar obstacles\ \few believed it would succeed\

Explanation:

The word "undaunted" means not intimidated or discouraged by difficulty, danger, or disappointment. The details "urging his men forward" and "conquered similar obstacles" show that Captain Alvarez was not deterred by the harsh conditions and obstacles, as he was actively motivating his crew and drawing on past successes. "Fragile tents" just describes the tents, "few believed it would succeed" is about others' expectations, not the captain's attitude.

Answer:

B. "urging his men forward", C. "conquered similar obstacles"
