HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINIEST IF YOUR ANSWER IS GOOD :)))

Steward James Johnson felt he knew just what it was. He recognized the kind of shudder a ship gives when she drops a propeller blade, and he knew this sort of mishap meant a trip back to the Harland & Wolff shipyard at Belfast – with plenty of free time to enjoy the hospitality of the port.

Somebody near him agreed and sang out cheerfully, ‘Another Belfast trip!’

In the galley just to the stern, chief night baker Walter Belford was making rolls for the following day. (The honour of baking fancy pastry was reserved for the day shift.) When the jolt came, it impressed Belford more strongly than steward Johnson – perhaps because a pan of new rolls clattered off the top of the oven and scattered about the floor.

The passengers in their cabins felt the jar too, and tried to connect it with something familiar. Marguerite Frolicher, a young Swiss girl accompanying her father on a business trip, woke up with a start. Half-asleep, she could think only of the little white lake ferries at Zurich making a sloppy landing. Softly she said to herself, ‘Isn’t it funny … we’re landing!’

What can you infer about each character based on their reaction to the loud noise they just heard?

Steward James Johnson

Night Baker Walter Belford

Marguerite Frolicher

You can infer that they did not understand what was happening. They were almost in a trance, you could say. They didn't realize the severity of the situation.

Is this what you were looking for??? I hope it is right. I would put this and then just ad a small detail about each character. Hope this helped :))

Answer:

You can infer that each character has had different experiences with ships and therefore have different perspectives of what the loud noise was. As a Steward, James Johnson knows the most about the ship compared to the three of them, and connects the sound to a mishap of the ship and thinks that it means they have to make a trip to Belfast. Night Baker Walter Welford was startled by the noise because the jolt that accompanied it caused a pan of rolls to fall off the top of the oven. Marguerite Frolicher connects the noise to something familiar to her- ferries making a sloppy landing.
