Question 1353Navigation General70% to pass

On the Western Rivers, a vessel crossing a river must _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) keep out of the way of a power-driven vessel ascending or descending the river. On the Western Rivers, the Inland Navigation Rules state that a vessel crossing a river must keep out of the way of any power-driven vessel ascending or descending the river. This is to ensure the safety of all vessels and to maintain the orderly flow of traffic on the waterway. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either do not specify the requirement to keep out of the way of ascending vessels or they are too broad in their application.
