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?

Well, 1) Jack was yelling but it can't be the correct answer cause.
He was yelled down informing that warning light on. (danger sign).
2) a shower of debris might be the correct answer but why not even: The moon was looming close and big (all were in the passage and yes, all could be the correct answer if there wasn't "A catastrophe was imminent" option. All of them indicates that a disaster was imminent. Option C is correct.
I think that is the reason.

Shower of trash could be relevant. Events happening are pointing to the outer space journey. Lot of floating things are around evolved from planets, stars, other space craft.
Moreover whenever any warning goes up, it depends on sensors attached. So when when road is blocked because of debris sensor could sense that and sound an alarm. Instead of of knowing nothing what catastrophe is coming what could sound an alarm. So 'A' is the correct answer.

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.

Actually author is asking the inference (means which of the option is supported by the passage).
Option A, D are irrelevant option B is weakening the passage (in passage given A because of B but in option says B because of A).
So option C is correct (strengthen the passage).
Option A, D are irrelevant option B is weakening the passage (in passage given A because of B but in option says B because of A).
So option C is correct (strengthen the passage).

Catastrophe means a sudden widespread disaster & imminent means impending; warning lights to be on means there must be same danger. A is not correct debris means trash; shower of trash is irrelevant.

A catastrophe was imminent is the answer because. There is a word simultaneously, then use (yelled down to me that there was a warning light on) which sense of imminent and catastrophe (sudden damage).

Catastrophe means tragedy and imminent means close at hand.
A one type of tragedy close at hand and this is a nearest tragedy.
So the answer is c.
