QUESTION#2
E This Logic question asks why a particular detail was used. The Santisima Trinidad was mentioned in the middle of the passage as an example to support the point that the British fleet was outgunned and that victory did not seem certain. (E) is a good match for this prediction; the British may not have been confident of victory because of the more powerful enemy fleet. (A) is incorrect; all that was said about Nelson's battle plan is that it was "unorthodox." (B) is contradicted by the passage; if this ship was a common design, then it wouldn't be "the most heavily armed ship in the world." (C) may seem tempting, since the ship is used in support of the idea that the British weren't certain that they'd be victorious; however, there's no dis-cussion of what the Spanish thought about their chances in the battle. (D) is too extreme; the British may not have been entirely confi-dent that they'd win, but that doesn't mean Nelson thought that they would lose.
