Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Quickly" is the correct choice here because it describes the manner in which the Titanic sank. Adverbs are used to modify verbs, and in this case, "quickly" modifies the verb "sank." "Quick" is an adjective and cannot be used to modify a verb. "Quickly" is the correct choice as it describes how the Titanic sank, indicating speed or manner, which requires an adverb. "Quick" is not appropriate in this context as it is an adjective that describes a noun.
