Question

read the excerpt from \explosion in space.\
flight controllers at mission control jumped into action. they scanned rows and rows of numbers flickering across computer screens in front of them. the headsets they wore to communicate with one another buzzed with voices reporting problems. the engineers in charge of the electrical system noted massive failures. other teams of engineers saw failures in guidance and navigation, the system that made sure the spacecraft stayed on course. problems also appeared in the communications network and the onboard computer. flight controllers had never seen so many system failures on a spaceflight.
which statement best describes a theme supported by this passage?
taking time to think is necessary.
making mistakes is a big part of life.
working together can solve a crisis.
accepting failure leads to solutions.

Explanation:

The passage describes flight controllers and engineers from different teams (electrical system, guidance and navigation, communications network, onboard computer) all working together as they face multiple system failures. It emphasizes the collaborative effort of these groups. The other options are not supported - there's no mention of taking time to think (no indication of pausing to reflect), no focus on making mistakes as a life - part (it's about system failures in a specific context), and no acceptance of failure leading to solutions (it's about the initial discovery of failures and the start of dealing with them, not acceptance).

Answer:

Working together can solve a crisis.
