Question 2039Deck General70% to pass
You should keep clear of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) any line under a strain.
The reasoning behind this is that you should always keep clear of any line that is under a strain, as it can be unpredictable and dangerous. If a line under tension were to break, it could cause serious injury or damage. This is a fundamental safety principle for anyone working on or around vessels.
The other options are incorrect because: A) Coiled lines may not necessarily be under strain, and B) Paying out lines can also be unpredictable and should be avoided. Option D) is incorrect because C is the right answer.
