70% to passThe Light List shows a lighted aid to navigation on the right bank. This means that the light can be seen on the starboard side of a vessel _______________.
A
crossing the river
B
ascending the river
C
proceeding from seaward
D
descending the river
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) descending the river. A lighted aid to navigation on the right bank means that the light can be seen on the starboard side of a vessel proceeding downstream or descending the river. This is because the right bank is on the right side when facing downstream. The other options are incorrect because: A) Crossing the river does not determine which side the light will be on. B) Ascending the river would mean the light is on the port side. C) Proceeding from seaward would depend on the specific location and direction of travel.
