Question

this passage is about a young boy, carter, replacing a lamp on a ship’s mast. select the best evidence to support the statement that carter enjoys the task of replacing the lamp.
as soon as he’d pocketed the old lamp in his rain slicker, he pulled out the new one and fitted it into the fixture, making sure not to let go before he’d tightened it down. carter had changed plenty of lightbulbs before, but never like this. if anything, it was all too easy and over too fast.
when he was done, he unwound his safety line and gave a hand signal to dez’s first mate, joe kuball, down below. joe put both hands on the winch at the base of the mast and started cranking carter back down the deck.

Explanation:

To support the statement that Carter enjoys the task, we look for evidence of his attitude. The sentence "If anything, it was all too easy and over too fast" suggests he wanted the task to last longer, implying enjoyment. Also, his smooth execution (pocketing old, fitting new, tightening) and contrast with past bulb - changing (never like this) show engagement. The first paragraph's details of his actions and the "too easy, too fast" line best support enjoyment.

Answer:

The evidence is: "As soon as he’d pocketed the old lamp in his rain slicker, he pulled out the new one and fitted it into the fixture, making sure not to let go before he’d tightened it down. Carter had changed plenty of lightbulbs before, but never like this. If anything, it was all too easy and over too fast."
