What was the primary reason the death toll was so high?
A There were not enough people to row the lifeboats.
B The majority of passengers could not swim.
C The ocean was unbearably cold.
D The captain refused to help third-class passengers.
E The ship had far too few lifeboats.
The correct answer is E: The ship had far too few lifeboats.
The Titanic was designed to carry more lifeboats than were actually provided, which meant that when the ship struck an iceberg and began to sink, there were not nearly enough lifeboats to accommodate all passengers and crew. This lack of adequate lifeboats significantly contributed to the high death toll during the disaster.
