Explanation:

1. In the context of a ship - related narrative where a crew member rings a place to warn of danger ahead, "bridge" refers to the platform from which a pilot navigates a ship. For items 20 - 23, we need to understand the sequence of events in the narrative. Typically, the lookout's awareness of potential danger (21) would come first, followed by crew members' actions like pacing the deck (23), then a crew - member's observation in different areas (20), and finally passengers' reactions (22). For items 24 - 26, we need to identify metaphors in the text which are figures of speech that make a non - literal comparison to create a vivid image.
