During the required periodic abandon ship drill aboard a MODU, each person not assigned duties in the muster list is _______________.

A instructed in the use of life jackets
B shown a video demonstrating lifeboat launching
C instructed in the use of portable fire extinguishers
D not required to attend the boat drill
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) instructed in the use of life jackets. During an abandon ship drill on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), each person not assigned duties in the muster list must be instructed in the proper use of life jackets. This is a requirement under the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for MODUs, as life jackets are the primary means of personal flotation in an emergency evacuation scenario. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) showing a video on lifeboat launching is not a requirement for the general crew, C) instruction on portable fire extinguishers is not relevant to an abandon ship drill, and D) all persons on board must participate in the abandon ship drill, as it is a critical safety exercise.
