Consider the following training objective for a training session designed for training your crew how to pump bilges: "Using the engine room bilge system of the M/V Underway where a bilge pocket requires pumping out and the automated bilge pumping controls have been disabled, by the end of the training session the participants will be able to pump an engine room bilge pocket dry manually to the bilge water holding tank in conformance with the vessel's engine room bilge pumping procedure checklist. There shall be no violations of the domestic and international pollution prevention regulations." What is the "action" verb associated with the above objective?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) will be able to pump. The key to identifying the "action" verb in this training objective is to look for the verb that describes the desired behavior or skill that the participants should demonstrate by the end of the training session. In this case, the objective states that "the participants will be able to pump an engine room bilge pocket dry manually." The verb "pump" is the action that the participants should be able to perform after the training. The other answer choices are not the correct "action" verb. A) "shall be" and C) "have been disabled" are not verbs describing the desired behavior. D) "using" is a gerund that describes the context of the training, but does not specify the action the participants should be able to perform.
