70% to passIn plugging submerged holes on a MODU, rags, wedges, and other materials should be used in conjunction with plugs to _______________.
A
prevent progressive flooding
B
reduce the possibility of stress fractures
C
reduce the water pressure on the hull
D
reduce the water leaking around the plugs
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) reduce the water leaking around the plugs. When plugging submerged holes on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), rags, wedges, and other materials should be used in conjunction with the plugs to reduce the amount of water leaking around the plugs. This helps to create a tighter seal and prevent additional water from entering the vessel through the damaged area. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the purpose of using additional materials alongside the plugs.
