Directions to Solve
I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into ans out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling. During this period, I had to go up in to command module. Even after the fiery re-entry splashing down in 81o water in south pacific, we could still see our frosty breath inside the command module.
2.
Which one of the following reasons would one consider as more as possible for the warning lights to be on?

The phrase "A catastrophe was imminent" means that a major disaster or very bad event was about to happen.

This is the situation of a space module (considered it as space shuttle) having re-entry into the earth's atmosphere from space. During this, there is a lot of heat generated due to friction with air and other things like air freezing on glass etc. happen. And this is imminent every time an object enters into Earth's atmosphere from outer space.
Therefore Option 'C' is correct.
Therefore Option 'C' is correct.

Here, options A and B are wrong because it doesn't necessarily explain why the lights were on, and you can't choose A and not D because they both happened together. as for option D, Jack was yelling BECAUSE the lights were on, so he isn't the cause of them being on, so we are only left with option C.
Therefore the right option is option C.
Therefore the right option is option C.

Option B is my correct answer.
Because the sentence is Jack was yelled down to me that there was a warning light on.

Why not A? By the passage A also seems to be correct.

Because "Catastrophe" means "A disaster related to the earth" & "Imminent" means "About to happen" so option C is correct.

Catastrophe means something dangerous and immitent means near so this will be the right option.
