Question

in the lab, where curious minds abound
a science experiment, a tale to convey
in the aftermath, when chaos was unbound

bubbling beakers, a peculiar sound
5 chemical equations in wild array
in the lab, where curious minds abound

an explosion echoed, panic all around
safety goggles couldnt keep dismay at bay
in the aftermath, when chaos was unbound

10 smoke and sparks, a scene to confound
failed hypotheses in disarray
in the lab, where curious minds abound

lab coats stained, evidence to expound
a scientific mishap, a price to pay
15 in the aftermath, when chaos was unbound

lessons learned, though lab notes are frowned
mistakes dissected for a wiser display
in the lab, where curious minds abound
in the aftermath, when chaos was unbound

which line from the poem explains the panic in the science lab?
a line 4
b line 7
c line 13
d line 14

Explanation:

• Line 7: "An explosion echoed, panic all around" directly mentions an explosion (a cause) and panic (the result), which clearly explains the panic in the science lab.
• Line 4: "Chemical equations in wild array" just describes the state of chemical equations, not related to panic.
• Line 13: "Lab coats stained, evidence to expound" is about the aftermath (stained lab - coats) and not about the cause of panic.
• Line 14: "A scientific mishap, a price to pay" is a general statement about a mishap and its consequence, not specifically about the panic.

Answer:

B. line 7
