Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

A man is rescued from the ocean off the Spanish coast and brought to King Ferdinand of Spain where he claims to be a crewmate of Juan Ponce de León who disappeared 200 years ago searching for the Fountain of Youth. After a failed attempt to rescue his mate, Joshamee Gibbs, from execution in London, Captain Jack Sparrow is brought before King George II. The king asks Jack to guide an expedition to locate the Fountain of Youth, before King Ferdinand and the Spanish Navy locate it. Captain Hector Barbossa, now a privateer, and sporting a peg leg, is captaining the expedition, though only requires Sao Feng’s navigational charts, rather than Jack.

Jack escapes, meeting his father, Captain Teague, who tells Jack that the Fountain requires a ritual to use. Jack learns an impersonator is recruiting pirates for another expedition. The imposter is Angelica, Jack’s former lover, and daughter of the legendary Blackbeard. Jack is shanghaied into service onboard Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard survived his historic death using voodoo magic, due to a predestined, fatal encounter with Barbossa. He wields the Sword of Triton, which allows him to control his ship. Though Jack leads a mutiny, Blackbeard subdues the crew into obedience. Amongst the crew is Philip Swift, a captured missionary.

Barbossa recruits Gibbs, who burns the charts, admitting he memorised every location. Jack is told by Angelica that two silver chalices must be retrieved from Ponce de León’s flagship, the Santiago. A mermaid’s tear must be placed in one chalice, which have to be drunk from simultaneously to activate the Fountain’s healing properties. The drinker who lacks the tear will die, their lifeforce given to the other. Jack discovers Blackbeard’s collection of captured, miniaturised ships, including the Black Pearl.
