70% to pass

A seaman signed on articles on 16 January 1987 and signed off on 2 March 1987. How should you enter this under the Time of Service column in the articles?

A 46 Days
B 1 Month 16 Days
C 1 Month 18 Days
D 2 Months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 46 Days. To calculate the time of service, you simply need to count the number of days between the sign-on date (16 January 1987) and the sign-off date (2 March 1987). Doing the math, this results in a total of 46 days of service, which matches answer choice A. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the number of days of service. Option B (1 Month 16 Days) is too short, option C (1 Month 18 Days) is also too short, and option D (2 Months) is too long for the given time period.
