Answer 1

## Step 1The problem asks us to identify the sentence from the passage that best supports the statement that third-class passengers were treated as lesser citizens on the ship. To solve this, we need to analyze each sentence and determine which one provides the most direct evidence of this inequality.## Step 2Sentence A talks about the number of people on the ship and the capacity of the lifeboats. This sentence does not provide any information about the treatment of third-class passengers.## Step 3Sentence B describes Ann's experience on the ship. While it does mention that she was in the third-class general room, it does not provide any information about the treatment of third-class passengers.## Step 4Sentence C describes the situation where the third-class cabins were the first to take on water, causing many of those passengers to race to the stairs leading to the upper decks. This sentence does not provide any information about the treatment of third-class passengers.## Step 5Sentence D states that during normal times, locked gates kept third-class passengers from wandering around in the second and first-class areas. This sentence directly supports the statement that third-class passengers were treated as lesser citizens on the ship, as it shows that they were restricted from accessing the same areas as the first and second-class passengers.
