Question 376Deck Safety70% to pass
You are on the beach and want to signal to a small boat in distress that your present location is dangerous and that they should land to the left. How would you indicate this?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) send the code signal S followed by L.
This is the correct answer because the code signal S followed by L is the internationally recognized way to indicate that the boat should land to the left of the signaling location. The S-L signal is prescribed in maritime regulations and standards for visual distress signaling.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with standard maritime signaling practices. Using a green star, the letter K, or an orange signal would not clearly convey the intended message to the boat in distress.
