○ fire and smoke killed the majority of the casualties

○ a terrorist bomb exploded on the first floor

○ money - saving alterations had been made relating to the structure of the hanging walkway

Explanation:

The Kansas City Hotel Walkway collapse was due to structural design flaws, specifically money - saving alterations to the walkway's structure. Fire and smoke weren't the main cause (it was a collapse), no terrorist bomb, and cracks in ceiling slabs weren't the key factor. The correct reason was the structural alterations to save money.

Answer:

money - saving alterations had been made relating to the structure of the hanging walkway
