Read the following passage and then select the correct answer to the question below: THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
From CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

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."

Which sentence provides the best summary of this excerpt?

Lance Kenniston's companion Holk Or was a type of alien called a Jovian, and his face was green.
Lance Kenniston and Holk Or needed a little cruiser to carry their things to the asteroid off of Mars.
The perfect cruiser for Lance Kenniston and Hold Or was being used as a pleasure cruiser for rich Earth kids.
Loring was a girl from Earth who had a lot of money and liked to take pleasure cruises to other planets in space.
