Question

which list states the correct order of the findings of three investigations of the maine sinking?

  1. there was a bomb inside the ship. 2) there was a mine outside the ship. 3) there were spies onboard the ship.
  2. there were spies on board the ship. 2) there was a mine outside the ship. 3) there was an explosion at the back.
  3. there was a mine outside the ship. 2) there was an explosion at the back. 3) there was a coal fire on board.
  4. there was a bomb inside the ship. 2) there was a mine outside the ship. 3) there was an explosion at the back.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the correct order, we recall the investigations of the USS Maine sinking:

  1. First investigation (1898): concluded an external mine (leading to a bomb - like explosion inside? Wait, no, initial 1898 US inquiry said external mine caused internal explosion. Then later 1911: found coal fire (internal) led to explosion. Wait, the correct order of findings across three investigations? Wait, the options: Let's check the correct sequence. The first investigation (1898) thought external mine (so "There was a mine outside the ship" first? No, wait, maybe the three investigations: first (1898) - external mine (so 1: mine outside), second (later) - maybe bomb inside? No, wait, the correct sequence of findings (from historical records):
  • First investigation (1898): concluded an external mine caused the explosion (so "There was a mine outside the ship" as first? No, wait, the first report said a mine outside caused the explosion. Then a later (1911) investigation suggested internal coal fire. Wait, the options: looking at the third option (top right? Wait, the options are:

Wait the four boxes? Wait the question is "three investigations", so three parts. Let's parse the options:

Option 1 (top left): 1) bomb inside, 2) mine outside, 3) spies onboard.

Option 2 (top middle): 1) spies onboard, 2) mine outside, 3) explosion at back.

Option 3 (top right): 1) mine outside, 2) explosion at back, 3) coal fire onboard.

Option 4 (bottom left): 1) bomb inside, 2) mine outside, 3) explosion at back.

Wait, the correct historical sequence of findings for the three investigations (approximate):

  1. First (1898) US inquiry: external mine (so "There was a mine outside the ship" as first? No, maybe the first finding was "mine outside", then later a different view. Wait, the correct answer is the top - right box: 1) There was a mine outside the ship, 2) There was an explosion at the back, 3) There was a coal fire on board. Wait, no, the 1911 investigation found coal fire (internal) caused the explosion. So the order of findings (across three investigations) would be:
  • First investigation: mine outside (caused explosion) → second: maybe bomb inside? No, the correct sequence of findings (the three investigations' conclusions) is:
  1. Mine outside the ship (first investigation), 2. Explosion at the back (maybe a misstep, but looking at options), 3. Coal fire on board (1911 investigation). So the top - right box (third option) has 1) mine outside, 2) explosion at back, 3) coal fire onboard.

Wait, but let's re - check. The correct order of findings for the three investigations of the Maine sinking (historical):

  • First (1898) US Naval Court of Inquiry: concluded an external mine caused the explosion (so "There was a mine outside the ship" as a finding).
  • Then, later (maybe a second inquiry) - perhaps thought explosion at the back (but not sure).
  • Third (1911) investigation: found that a coal fire in the bunker (onboard) led to the explosion (so "There was a coal fire on board" as a later finding).

So the sequence of findings (across three investigations) would be:

  1. There was a mine outside the ship (first investigation's conclusion),
  1. There was an explosion at the back (maybe a middle step),
  1. There was a coal fire on board (third investigation's conclusion).

Looking at the options, the top - right box (the third one in the top row) has:

  1. There was a mine outside the ship,
  1. There was an explosion at the back,
  1. There was a coal fire on board.

This matches the historical sequence of findings (first: external mine, then explosi…

Answer:

The top - right box (the third box in the top row) with the list: 1) There was a mine outside the ship. 2) There was an explosion at the back. 3) There was a coal fire on board.
