I could see my father climbing the rigging to release the large sails that would speed the Kathleen May out to the rolling waves of the North Sea and then on its journey up to coast of Greenland.  As my father got to the top of the mast he turned to wave and we jumped up and down excitedly.
For a moment I saw my mother smile and then her expression changed and she wiped her eyes again. I tried not to cry but tears streamed down my face. I wiped my face on the
sleeve of my long yellow dress and squeezed my mothers hand even tighter.
After that the large white sail fell, opened up and it billowed out with the wind inside it. Within seconds the speed of the boat increased and she was suddenly away from the harbour and cutting through the white topped waves. My father could no longer be seen but I still waved.
The next thing I remembered was being part of the crowd as it turned and headed away back up the hill towards our house. We walked in silence, the only noise being the
shuffling of feet on the wet cobbles.  Mother kissed my head, smiled and I knew we were going
to be just fine until father returned in two months‟ time.

Epcot is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The park's name, EPCOT, is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, a utopian city of the future planned by Walt Disney, often interchanging "city" and "community."  It is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Parks and Resorts division.

Inspired by an unrealized concept developed by Walt Disney, the park opened on October 1,
1982  and was the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World, after the Magic Kingdom. Spanning 300 acres (120 ha), more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park, Epcot     is     dedicated     to     the     celebration     of     human     achievement,     namely technological innovation and    international culture,    and    is    often    referred    to    as    a "permanent world's fair".

The park is divided into two sections: Future World, made up of eight pavilions, and World Showcase, themed to 11 world nations. The World Showcase usually opens two hours after park opening and remains open later than the Future World section of the park. Most major attractions in Future World remain open until the park's closing time. A secondary park gate is located between the France and United Kingdom pavilions of World Showcase and is known as  the  International  Gateway.  The  International  Gateway  is  directly  accessible  to  guests arriving from the nearby Epcot Area Resorts and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

In 2015, the park hosted about 11.98 million guests, ranking it the third-most-visited theme park  in  North  America  and  the  sixth-most-visited  theme  park  in  the  world. The  park  is represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere that also serves as an attraction.

Ibtihaj Muhammad was born on December 4, 1985 in Maplewood, New Jersey. She is one of five  children  born  to  parents  Eugene  and  Denise  Muhammad.  From  a  young  age, Muhammad had a competitive streak and loved sports. However, participating in sports at school sometimes conflicted with her religious observance to dress modestly. Often when playing sports, her mother Denise had to alter the uniforms to add long sleeves or covering for her legs. When she was 13, Muhammad and her mother discovered fencing when they saw a high school fencing team practice as they drove home. "The kids were wearing their long pants and hats, and my mom just thought, 'This is perfect,'" Muhammad said. "That's where it all began." Fencing was an ideal opportunity to participate in sports while wearing a hijab. Unlike when she played other sports, she also did not feel out of place amongst her teammates.

Muhammad attended Maplewoods Columbia High School, where she excelled and became captain of the fencing team for two years and helped win two state championships. Ibtihaj Muhammad attended Duke University on a scholarship. She graduated in 2007 with dual bachelor‟s degrees in international relations and African-American studies with a minor in Arabic. During her first year at college in 2004, she earned All-America honors with a record of 49-8. From there, she went on to place second at the mid-Atlantic/South Regional and
21st at the Junior Olympics. The following year, she finished 11th for saber at the NCAA Championships, and earned her second consecutive All-America honors. A third would come in 2006.

In  2009,  Muhammad  elevated  her  training  when  she  was  coached  by  the  2000  U.S. Olympian, Akhi Spencer-El. That same year, she won a national title. Since then Muhammad has become a five-time Senior World Team medalist. She helped her team take home gold for the United States in 2014 in Kazan, Russia. Throughout her career, she has earned numerous medals for both team and individual events on the World Cup circuit. In 2012, Muhammad was named Muslim Sportswoman of the year. In 2016, Muhammad earned a spot on the U.S. Saber Fencing Team for the Olympics in Rio. She is the first Muslim woman to  wear  a  hijab,  a  traditional  Muslim  headscarf,  to  represent  the  United  States  at  the Olympics.

43. When did Muhammad earn her second consecutive All-America honors?
A. In 2004
B. In 2005
