Which of the following is appropriate for blank given in sentence (6) ?1). The public’s fascination with the tragedy has not waned in the 100 years since Titanic sank.2). Was this a tragic unpreventable accident or did the fault lie in human error?3). Having received numerous warnings of icebergs in the vicinity, Titanic’s Captain, Edward J Smith, altered the ship’s course to take it further south than originally planned4). Both (1) and (2)

Answer»

After arranging the SENTENCES in the logical sequence of CABED, we find that the sentence prior to sentence (6) talks about the fact that the White Line shipping focused on bigger and more luxurious vessels to attract the rich and famous. But Titanic served one more purpose – we need to consider this purpose to FILL the blank.

Clearly, option 1 and 2 are irrelevant to the context. Option 3 is suitable for some other premise as it intends to describe the course of actions which led to the tragedy.

Option 5 SEEMS a logical FIT for the blank as it tells us that the other purpose was that the Titanic provided the transatlantic shipping companies with their LARGEST source of income.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
