参考解析

解析:
分析第三段第一句话“The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012, after its captain, Francesco Schettino, brought the ship too close to the shore”可以得到after后面为事故原因,在after的动作之后有了capsize这个结果。上文介绍了事故救援的过程,第三段说明事故发生的时间和原因,可以推测capsize与发生事故相关。turn over表示“翻转”,与capsize意思相近,因此A项正确。delay拖延。depart离开。set sail起航。
