Well, it's a good thing Rose chose the wrong stairwell because if she had made it back to their cabin, she would have been too tired to find a lifeboat. And you know, searching for lifeboats is no joke - it's like trying to find your missing sock in a dryer, but way more crucial. So, in a strange twist of fate, Rose's navigation skills (or lack thereof) actually ended up helping her survival chances. Brilliant, isn't it?
The correct answer is: If she had made it back to their cabin, she would not have had enough time to get to the lifeboats.
To determine why it was fortunate that Rose chose the wrong stairwell, we need to assess the given options.
Option 1: If she had made it back to their cabin, she would have been too tired to find a lifeboat.
Option 2: If she had made it back to their cabin, she would not have had enough time to get to the lifeboats.
Option 3: If she had made it back to their cabin, she would have been able to find a lifeboat.
Option 4: If she had made it back to their cabin, she would have been able to retrieve Mrs. Stone's jewelry.
Considering the context of the situation, it is clear that the correct option is option 1. If Rose had made it back to the cabin, she would have been too tired to find a lifeboat. This implies that choosing the wrong stairwell prevented Rose from returning to the cabin and consequently saved her from exhaustion, allowing her to have enough energy to search for a lifeboat. Therefore, it was fortunate that Rose chose the wrong stairwell.
