Act Reading Comprehension 2

The correct answer is "Ship" because the article mentions the name "Lusitania" and ships are commonly referred to by their names. The article does not mention anything about the Lusitania being an airplane, torpedo boat, or train, so these options can be ruled out.

The word "touted" in this statement means that the person was promoted or advertised as a middle-aged fireman in the engine room. It suggests that there was a lot of attention or publicity given to this individual's role or position.

C. As a fictitious man and part of urban myth, Frank Towers is best described as immortal.

The passage suggests that urban folk tales may not always be based on real people. This implies that some urban legends or stories may have originated from fictional characters or events that were exaggerated or fabricated over time. The passage does not provide any evidence or information about ships sinking, America being at war, or Frank Towers causing the ships to sink, making these options less likely to be the correct answer.

The correct answer is "The Legend of Frank Towers Debunked" because the title suggests that the story of Frank Towers is not true or has been proven false. The word "debunked" implies that the urban folk tale about Frank Towers has been discredited or proven to be a myth. This aligns with the statement that urban folk tales are not always based on real people.

The given answer states that Frank Towers is fictitious. This means that Frank Towers does not exist in reality and is a creation of someone's imagination. There is no evidence or information provided to suggest that Frank Towers is a real person or holds any specific occupation or role. Therefore, the answer implies that the character of Frank Towers is not based on any actual individual or situation.
