The cause of the wreck of the ship Edmund Fitzgeraid in a severe storm on lake
Superior is still unknown , when the sunken wreckage of the vessel was found,
searchers discovered the hull in two pieces lying close together, The storm’s

A. Ships as large as the Edmund Fitzgerald rarely sink except in the most
   violent weather.

B. Under water currents at the time of the storm did not move the separated
   pieces of the hull together again.

C. Pieces of the hull would have sunk more quickly than the intact hull would
   have

D. The waves of the storm were not violent enough to have caused the breakup

E. If the ship broke up before sinking , the pieces of the hull would not have
remained on the surface for very long
