Correct Answer
A. In halfExplanation
The ship broke in half, indicating that it split into two separate pieces. This suggests that there was a significant force or structural failure that caused the ship to break apart along its length. This could have been due to factors such as excessive stress, collision, or a combination of factors leading to structural weakness. The phrase "on the side it didn't break" implies that the breakage occurred on a different side than expected, adding to the unexpected nature of the event.Rate this question:
