Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: D
Kalimat pembuka berita menyatakan secara langsung bahwa “two boats … collided”. Jadi fokus utama berita adalah peristiwa tabrakan dua kapal.

Teks menyebutkan penumpang berasal dari berbagai negara dan acara tersebut menarik “mostly western tourists”. Ini menunjukkan penumpang didominasi wisatawan asing.
Pilihan A keliru karena \(42\) adalah jumlah korban luka. Pilihan B tidak menyebut “badly”. Pilihan C tidak dinyatakan. Pilihan E salah arah perjalanan. Maka \(D \gt A\).
