Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Worst" is the correct choice because it is comparing the disaster to all other passenger ship disasters in anyone's memory, indicating it is the most severe or extreme. "Worse" would suggest there have been other disasters that were also bad, but this was just a step worse. "Worst" is the correct choice here as it is the superlative form of the adjective "bad". The sentence is referring to the most severe passenger ship disaster in anyone's memory.
