IV- READING COMPREHENTION.
Read the passage then answer the questions below. Mark the correct letter A, B, C or D.
If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that has been sunk, it is likely that
nearly all of them would say the Titanic. For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly
the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel.
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of

publicity had surrounded it. The last point probably explains why so many important people from all walks
of life were on the boat when it went down.
The Titanic was its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank. Of its 2,300
passengers, more than two- thirds were drowned. Because the Titanic was thought to be virtually
unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy. There was total panic as very few of the passengers had
bothered to learn the necessary drill in the event of the trouble. There was severe shortage of lifeboats and
those that was launched were still half-empty. The one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom where
the band carried on playing right to the very end.
What makes the sinking of the Titanic even more tragic is the fact that warnings of icebergs had been
sent, yet the liner was still continuing at full speed. In addition one ship was only ten miles away but did
not receive the distress signal.
2
One good thing did, however, result from disaster. The whole question of safety at sea was looked into,
resulting in much better safely measures, including stricter lifeboat regulations and the establishment of an
iceberg patrol.

A. too short B. launched too soon
C. half finished D. poorly equipped
