Jessica jumped off a boat into the freezing cold water of the Southern Pacific. About 25 feet away from her, she could see a 22 foot long tiger shark, one of the most feared aquatic predators in the world. Despite her close proximity to the dangerous shark, Jessica remained perfectly calm.

A Jessica had survived an encounter with a large tiger shark three years earlier, although she had lost her left leg in the encounter.
B Because of the loud noises of the ocean and the boat, Jessica could not hear the shark's approach.
C Jessica could see that the tiger shark was being pursued by a 28-foot-long great white shark, the most feared aquatic predator in the Southern Pacific.
D Jessica was surrounded by a thick steel cage that no shark could penetrate.
E Jessica was a strong swimmer who had won several swimming competitions while in college.
