Read the excerpt from 'Shadows on Lake Superior': 'Marcus stood on the wooden deck of the restored schooner, his knuckles white as he gripped the railing. The engine rumbled, pushing the ship past the harbor breakwater into open blue water. For months he had helped replace rotting pine planks and paint the hull, but now that the journey across Michigan's deepest lake was beginning, a cold knot formed in his stomach.' How do Marcus's feelings change in the excerpt?

From pride in hard work to apprehension about the upcoming open-water voyage. From deep anger toward his crewmates to complete excitement about fishing. From boredom with ship repairs to overwhelming joy about returning home. From fear of the cold wind to total indifference toward the boat.

Correct Answer:

From pride in hard work to apprehension about the upcoming open-water voyage.
