Titanic

The belief that the Titanic was unsinkable was so strong that passengers and crew alike clung to the belief even as she was actually sinking. Not realising the magnitude of the impending disaster themselves, the officers allowed several boats to be lowered only half full. The officers were afraid the lifeboats would buckle under the weight of the passengers as they had not been informed that the lifeboats had been fully tested prior to departure. As a result, 1,517 passengers met their deaths.

Which of the following most accurately summarizes the opinion of the author in the text?

a) People on board were too shocked to take action.b) There was a large loss of life when the Titanic sank.c) Procedures were to blame for the sinking of the Titanic.d) The sinking of the Titanic was an avoidable catastrophe.
