To find the answer to this question, we need to carefully analyze each sentence in the paragraph and determine if there is a word that should be capitalized.
Sentence 5: "pearl Harbor," he choked out, "It's been attacked!"
The words "pearl Harbor" should be capitalized because they refer to a specific location or proper noun. However, in this sentence, they are not capitalized, so Sentence 5 does not contain a word that should be capitalized.
Sentence 7: "Should we change course, Skipper?" Lovett blurted.
The word "Skipper" should be capitalized because it is used as a title or name for someone. Therefore, Sentence 7 contains a word that should be capitalized.
Sentence 2: The freighter Florentine, 320 miles northeast of the Hawaiian Island of Hilo was lumbering along at about 15 knots when the garbled message came in over the radio.
There are no significant words in this sentence that should be capitalized. It primarily contains descriptions and locations, which are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns.
Sentence 4: With the message burned into his mind, First Mate Lovett all but ran up the ladder to the bridge.
There are no significant words in this sentence that should be capitalized. It primarily contains descriptions and positions, which are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns.
Based on this analysis, the answer is B. Sentence 7 contains a word that should be capitalized.
