Question 1794Deck Safety70% to pass
You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is at the top of number 8. What is the draft?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 8'-06".
The water level is shown at the top of the number 8 on the draft marks, indicating a draft of 8 feet. The fractions are marked in 3-inch increments, so the additional 6 inches makes the total draft 8 feet and 6 inches, or 8'-06".
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) 7'-09" is too low based on the water level at the top of the 8 mark.
B) 8'-03" is too low, as the water level is clearly at the top of the 8, not the 3.
C) 8'-00" is too low, as the water level is above the 8 foot mark.
