The meaning of drown and sink is same and also both words are prepositional words. The drown used for any person any animal but ink is used for goods.

Eg:- Sohan drawn in river.
And the goods ship sank in sea.

In option A, why we won't use "The Indian ship " instead of An Indian ship?

Tenzin wangda said:   8 years ago
Instead of in, into is more suitable, as the drowning is the verb that expresses movement.
