The expression “won out” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A

took the upper hand

B

went out of control

C

D

shut down


参考答案

参考解析
解析:
根据文章第三段最后一句可知,在路西塔尼亚号上,大部分幸存者是那些会游泳并且能够逃到救生艇上的人们。这与泰坦尼克号上的情况形成了鲜明的对比,在泰坦尼克号上社会秩序战胜了本能,而在路西塔尼亚号上本能战胜了社会秩序,因此won out意为“占上风,胜出”,与took the upper hand意义接近。
