Question 472Navigation General
70% to passChart legends printed in capital letters show that the associated landmark is _______________.
The correct answer is D) conspicuous. The reasoning is that chart legends printed in capital letters indicate that the associated landmark or feature on the chart is a conspicuous, or easily visible, object. This is a standard convention used in nautical charts to provide navigational information to mariners. Landmarks or features that are printed in capital letters are typically larger, more prominent, and easier to identify from a distance compared to those printed in lower case. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of capital letters in a chart legend. The landmark is not necessarily inconspicuous (A), a radio transmitter (B), or a government facility/station (C) just because it is printed in capital letters.
