70% to passOn the cargo manifest, the gross weight of a box containing cargo is the weight of the _______________.
A
box
B
rate weight
C
cargo and box
D
cargo
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) cargo and box. The gross weight on a cargo manifest refers to the total weight of the cargo and its packaging or container. This includes the weight of the box or other packaging material, in addition to the weight of the actual cargo inside. The gross weight represents the full weight that needs to be accounted for during transportation and handling. The other options are incorrect because A) the box alone does not represent the gross weight, D) the cargo weight without the packaging is not the full gross weight, and B) "rate weight" is not a standard term used for cargo manifests.
