70% to passWith a rig in tow, there is immediate danger to the tug in the event of the _______________.
A
tow line parting
B
rig broaching
C
bridle twisting
D
tug losing power
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the tug losing power. With a rig in tow, the immediate danger to the tug is if the tug loses power. If the tug loses power, it will no longer be able to maintain control of the tow, which could lead to the tow line parting, the rig broaching, or the bridle twisting. These events could then put the tug in immediate danger. The other options, while potentially dangerous, are not the immediate threat to the tug itself in this scenario. Maintaining power is crucial for the tug to safely control and maneuver the towed rig.
