what does the word expedition mean in this sentence?

Journey

Explanation:

The word "expedition" in this passage means "journey." "Expedition" most often refers to a journey with the purpose of exploration and research. It often implies that there is someone unknown to be discovered, and therefore, it is often used to name adventurous and pioneering journeys. In this case, the author wanted to mount an expedition to find the Titanic, which means that he wanted to organize a journey to achieve this ground-breaking goal.

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

there you go thats what we are missing

i believe the answer is inference
