PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: The day was just breaking, as I left the tower; though it was still too dark in the house to be able to see without a light, and I took one of the study candles with me on my 'round.
Sent 2: By the time I had finished the ground floor, the daylight was creeping in, wanly, through the barred windows.
Sent 3: My search had shown me nothing fresh.
Sent 4: Everything appeared to be in order, and I was on the point of extinguishing my candle, when the thought suggested itself to me to have another glance 'round the cellars.
Sent 5: I had not, if I remember rightly, been into them since my hasty search on the evening of the attack.
Sent 6: For, perhaps, the half of a minute, I hesitated.
Sent 7: I would have been very willing to forego the task--as, indeed, I am inclined to think any man well might--for of all the great, awe-inspiring rooms in this house, the cellars are the hugest and weirdest.
Sent 8: Great, gloomy caverns of places, unlit by any ray of daylight.
Sent 9: Yet, I would not shirk the work.
Sent 10: I felt that to do so would smack of sheer cowardice.
Sent 11: Besides, as I reassured myself, the cellars were really the most unlikely places in which to come across anything dangerous; considering that they can be entered, only through a heavy oaken door, the key of which, I carry always on my person.
Question: What job can you assume he had? (select everything that could apply).

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Hotel California Fact: Sound is a vibration.
Sent 2: Sound travels as a mechanical wave through a medium, and in space, there is no medium.
Sent 3: So when my shuttle malfunctioned and the airlocks didn't keep the air in, I heard nothing.
Sent 4: After the first whoosh of the air being sucked away, there was lightning, but no thunder.
Sent 5: Eyes bulging in panic, but no screams.
Sent 6: Quiet and peaceful, right?
Sent 7: Such a relief to never again hear my crewmate Jesse natter about his girl back on Earth and that all-expenses-paid vacation-for-two she won last time he was on leave.
Sent 8: I swore, if I ever had to see a photo of him in a skimpy bathing suit again, giving the camera a cheesy thumbs-up from a lounge chair on one of those white sandy beaches, I'd kiss a monkey.
Sent 9: Metaphorically, of course.
Sent 10: Fact: If, before all the air is sucked out of the ship, a person is so lucky to have stuffed him or herself into a space suit, that person has less than twenty-four hours to live.
Sent 11: This is more than the person would have sans space suit.
Sent 12: Me, I found a space suit, but it was statistically unlikely that I, and whomever else has followed suit (pun intended), would manage to repair our ship before the less-than-twenty-four hours are up; yes, studies have been done.
Sent 13: So, twenty-four hours.
Sent 14: Give or take.
Sent 15: About the time I was composing my last words in my head, trying not to think too much about what suffocating felt like, that's when I heard a bell.
Question: Was the air really sucked out of the shuttle?.

SOLUTION:
Yes, because the shuttle malfunctioned.
