2. What was the problem?

Explanation

The correct answer is "They crash into an iceberg." This answer suggests that the problem mentioned in the question is the collision of the subject (presumably a ship or a boat) with an iceberg. The other options, "They see an iceberg" and "there is no problem," do not indicate any issue or challenge, which makes them incorrect.

Submit
3. Who is the Author of the poem

Explanation

Thomas Hardy is the correct answer because he is a well-known English novelist and poet who wrote numerous poems, including "Twain." Albert Finch is not a recognized poet or author, and there is no information provided about him. Therefore, he cannot be the author of the poem.

Submit
4. What is the setting

Explanation

The correct answer is the ocean because the question is asking about the setting, and the ocean is a common setting that can be found in various contexts such as movies, books, or real-life scenarios. The beach and the ship could be part of the ocean setting, but they are not the setting themselves.

Submit
5. What do they call the Titanic

Explanation

The correct answer is "the unsinkable" because it refers to the common nickname given to the Titanic. This nickname was used to emphasize the belief that the Titanic was invincible and could not be sunk. However, this belief was proven wrong when the ship tragically sank on its maiden voyage.

Submit
6. How did most people die after the ship sunk

Explanation

Most people died after the ship sunk because they drowned.

Submit
7. How did the ship break

Explanation

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.

Submit
8. Where did the Titanic start the voyage

Explanation

The Titanic started its voyage in England.

Submit
9. What was the other name for the Titanic

Explanation

The given question asks for the other name for the Titanic. Out of the three options provided, "The freedom" is the only one that could potentially be another name for the Titanic. The other options, "The big man" and "The big ship," do not match the question's requirement. Therefore, "The freedom" is the correct answer.

Submit
10. Where did the Titanic end up

Explanation

The Titanic did not end up at its destination, as it famously sank on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg. It is currently located at the bottom of the ocean, making the first option the correct answer.
