Thank you We sneak in and here's your smoke to

00:05

shore brought to you by extraterrestrials And we thought we

00:08

ordered extra cheese Check the following passage nasa probe Yeah

00:15

going scene thinking hurricanes world saying okay from the tone

00:23

of the quote in paragraph three the imaging team's reaction

00:27

to seeing the hurricane can be best described as one

00:31

of what And here a potential answers right disappointment along

00:35

the light's bright Well the passage quotes one of the

00:37

science guys on the team that first clock this giant

00:40

storm on saturday To get this question right we need

00:43

to zero in on a quote and figure out just

00:46

how the team felt when it saw this extraterrestrial storm

00:49

which is not to be confused with a storm of

00:51

extraterrestrials Alright a claims that the team was disappointed when

00:55

they saw the saturnian hurricane but it doesn't know science

00:59

guys like we do the only way they'd be disappointed

01:02

by a mega storm on saturn they were actually watching

01:05

01:21

we'll see isn't quite right either Although they were probably

01:23

happy from a scientific perspective the team's happiness was probably

01:27

more like scientific curiosity than delight The quote doesn't say

01:31

they did a happy dance or anything although that'd be

01:33

kind of cool the correct answer is d surprise That

01:37

quote says the team did a double take it a

01:39

double take when they saw the hurricane A double take

01:43

is really just looking twice it's something unexpected like if

01:47

we were walking down the street and thought we saw

01:49

jay z on a pogo stick that would be a 00:01:51.442 --> [endTime] surprise
