Q.10 |
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank on a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves. Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, there was an unpleasant number of questions about why Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly. According to the passage, fill in the blank. when the Estonia sank, ----. When the Estonia sank, _________. |
| a) |
There were only 139 passengers on board |
| b) | Few of the passengers were asleep |
| c) | There were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board |
| d) | All the passengers had already moved out into the open decks |
