THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.

"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.

"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."

"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"

"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."

Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.

The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.

"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.

With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.

The writer's introduction of Loring sets up

A.a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship
B. the understanding that money is not of any real value
C. a reason for Holk Or to become the main character
D. the sense of how incredibly large the space station is

Answer:

A. A new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship

Explanation:

A says a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship. This is correct because at the beginning the problem is introduced that he doesn't have a ship to stop the asteroid. Loring has a ship and they could possibly buy it from her so this could be a possible solution to the main problem. Hope this helps! :)

[P.S. Please mark me Brainliest! :)]

The writer's introduction of Loring sets up a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship. Thus, option A is correct.

An introduction is a part that begins with the aim and goals of the subsequent work. The body and conclusion are usually followed by this.

The introduction usually outlines the document's scope and provides a brief explanation or overview of the text. It may also describe certain components crucial to the paper. Readers can thus form an opinion on the next text before beginning to read it.

A proposes a fresh strategy for Lance Kenniston in order to obtain his ship. This is valid since the dilemma of not having a spacecraft to stop the asteroid is presented early on. Loring has a ship, which they may purchase from her, thus this may be an option.  Hence, option A is correct.
