Question 171 Deck General

The correct answer is C) In a westerly and northerly direction, except on Lake Michigan. The arrangement of aids to navigation on the Great Lakes generally follows a westerly and northerly direction, with the exception of Lake Michigan. On Lake Michigan, the aids to navigation are arranged in an easterly and southerly direction. This is due to the unique orientation of Lake Michigan compared to the other Great Lakes. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the general arrangement of aids to navigation on the Great Lakes. For example, option A refers to an easterly and southerly direction, which is not the case for most of the Great Lakes, and option D mentions the New York State Barge Canal, which is not part of the Great Lakes system.
