Correct Answer: did not call for help


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The underlined segment "has not called for help" suggests the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate in this context. The correct past tense form should be used to indicate an action completed in the past. 

So, the correct sentence would be: "So, the ship sank because the engineer did not call for help."
