Absolutely no one expected it to happen. They painstakingly planned so it absolutely wouldn't-couldn't happen. But here they were, less than five hundred feet from the moon, and just about plumb out of fuel. Which detail from the excerpt best identifies the problem? no one expected it to happen just about plumb out of fuel they painstakingly planned five hundred feet from the moon

B, "just about plumb out of fuel".

Explanation:

I'm assuming this book is Team Moon: How 40,000 people landed Apollo 11 on the moon by Catherine Thimmesh.

This book describes events that are stated as part of your question. All 4 of those options are technically correct, there's only 1 that is absolutely correct.

The first option describes how the problem was; the third option describes how the trip/landing was planned out; and the fourth option states how far away the ship was from the moon.

The question is asking for which option BEST IDENTIFIES the problem. Not how it was, not how it was planned, and not some facts about how far away the ship was.

Therefore, option B (Just about plumb out of fuel) is the best option.

Best of luck :3

we need to see the paragraphs in order to answer this.

i think the answer would mist likely be an adjective clause, because unhappy is an adjective.
