, The next four questions are based on the following passage.
The Bermuda Triangle
The area known as the Bermuda Triangle has become such a part of popular culture that
it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. The interest first began when five Navy
planes vanished in 1945, officially resulting from “causes or reasons unknown.” The
explanations about other accidents in the Triangle range from the scientific to the
supernatural. Researchers have never been able to find anything truly mysterious about
what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda Triangle. What is more,
one of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how much area
actually represents the Bermuda Triangle. Most consider the Triangle to stretch from Miami
out to Puerto Rico and to include the island of Bermuda. Others expand the area to include
all of the Caribbean islands and to extend eastward as far as the Azores, which are closer to
Europe than they are to North America.
The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of
accidents. There is near-constant travel, by ship and by plane, across the Atlantic, and
accidents are expected to occur. In fact, the Bermuda Triangle happens to fall within one of
the busiest navigational regions in the world, and the reality of greater activity creates the
possibility for more to go wrong. Shipping records suggest that there is not a greater than
average loss of vessels within the Bermuda Triangle, and many researchers have argued
that the reputation of the Triangle makes any accident seem out of the ordinary. In fact,
most accidents fall within the expected margin of error. The increase in ships from East Asia
no doubt contributes to an increase in accidents. And as for the story of the Navy planes that
disappeared within the Triangle, many researchers now conclude that it was the result of
mistakes on the part of the pilots who were flying into storm clouds and simply got lost.
12. Which of the following describes this type of writing?
a. Narrative
b. Persuasive

a. The problem with having a larger Bermuda Triangle is that it increases the odds of accidents.
b. The area that is called the Bermuda Triangle happens to fall within one of the busiest
navigational regions in the world, and the reality of greater activity creates the possibility for
more to go wrong.
c. One of the biggest challenges in considering the phenomenon is deciding how much
area actually represents the Bermuda Triangle.
d. Researchers have never been able to find anything truly mysterious about what happens in
the Bermuda Triangle, if there even is a Bermuda Triangle.
