This is Situational Irony (specifically Historical Irony). The expectation set by the label “unsinkable” is absolute safety. The reality (sinking on the first voyage) is the ultimate contradiction of that specific expectation. (It becomes Dramatic Irony only if used in a movie where the audience knows the future, but as a historical event, it is Situational).

Order of Pronouns: For bad news, blame, or confession, use 1-2-3 (I, you, and he). You must accept responsibility first.

The word “divided” (and the plural verb “were”) indicates the committee members are acting as separate individuals with different thoughts. Therefore, the collective noun is treated as plural, requiring “their”.

“Since” rule: The clause after “since” takes Simple Past (joined), and the main clause takes Present Perfect (has not written).

There are four sisters (more than two). Therefore, “one another” is the correct reciprocal pronoun.

Abstract nouns (Wisdom) generally take Zero Article. However, the prepositional phrase “of Solomon” makes this specific. The structure “Noun + OF + Noun” almost always requires “The” before the first noun.

While “interested” looks like a participle, it functions fully as an adjective here denoting a state of mind. With mental state adjectives (tired, interested, bored), “very” is the standard intensifier, not “much.” (Note: “Much” is used with passive verbs like “much admired”).

This tests the rule of Inversion with Restrictive Adverbials. When a sentence begins with a restrictive phrase like “Only by,” “Only then,” or “Only after,” the subject and auxiliary verb must be inverted in the main clause. The standard order “we could meet” is incorrect; the inverted order “could we meet” is required.

When “the same” implies identity (meaning it is the exact same object, not a similar one), the correct relative pronoun is “that”.

You expect a famous swimmer to be safe in water, especially a small amount like a bathtub. The outcome (drowning) contradicts the competence expected of the swimmer.
