Answer 1

The two correct answers that are considered primary sources about the sinking of the Titanic are:

1. a memoir written by one of the survivors of the shipwreck - This is a firsthand account from someone who experienced the event directly.

2. an interview with a crew member published in a major newspaper - This is also a firsthand account, providing direct testimony from someone involved in the event.

The other options are secondary sources since they analyze, summarize, or interpret the events rather than providing direct evidence.
