Use the paragraph to answer the question.
Jacques reached the front of the line, where a midshipman was signing on men. He asked each man only a few questions, turning none of his prospects away. Apparently, the Orion was in need of hands—in a hurry. Jacques briefly answered a question about his work skills, and the midshipman nodded his approval. Jacques could join the crew of the Orion. "Sign your name or your mark here," the midshipman said, pointing to a spot in a record book.

Reid stood in the doorway of the kitchen and took a deep breath. Then he took another deep breath. Crystal, his little sister, was standing in the middle of what looked like a cloud of flour. Her face looked like it was about to crumble. "The bag fell when I was trying to get a box of cereal, and when I tried to clean it up I just made it worse!"
Reid walked to the broom closet and took out a broom, dustpan, and vacuum cleaner. "Go get some towels and a bucket of water. It's okay. We will get this cleaned up together."
Crystal no longer looked like she would cry. "Thanks, Reid!" She ran to the linen closet to gather more supplies.

Daniella sat on her bedroom floor, her math book and scrap paper scattered around her. She buried her head in her hands. She couldn't wait until Jorge, her next-door neighbor and math genius, got there. She had texted him a few minutes ago asking if he could come help her study for her math exam, and, as always, he responded right away with an enthusiastic yes. He had helped her out so many times over the last few years.
"Hi!" Daniella said cheerfully, her stress melting away at the sight of her neighbor at her door.
"Hey," Jorge replied as he walked in her room. "Let's get to it!"
"Thank you so much. I know I can always count on you to help me out!". Daniella said as she put her arm around Jorge.
Jorge smiled. "I'm happy to help. Math is sort of my thing, you know."

Jacques joined a group of men carrying boxes and barrels up the gangway to the ship's main deck. The thick smells and earsplitting noises nearly made Jacques lose his balance. The deck of the Orion was like a small marketplace full of shouting men working and cleaning, and bellowing, frightened animals.
