Which statement accurately describes the connection between the Titanic's speed and its fate?

If the ship had been going faster, it would have been able to swerve quickly and avoid a collision.

If the ship had been going slower, more passengers would have had time to get on the remaining lifeboats and survive the collision.

If the ship had been going faster, there would have been more time between the collision and the moment the boat sank.

If the ship had been going slower, the collision would have been less forceful and caused less destruction.

Captain Smith died during the disaster, so the article lacks his explanation for using little caution near ice fields.

The article was written shortly after the disaster, so it lacks information from investigations that were done over time.

The author was unfamiliar with ship construction, so the article lacks details about the safeguards built into the ship.

Mr. J. Bruce Ismay was the president of the company that built the ship, so the article is biased because of his desire to defend his team’s work.
