Question 4019 Deck General

The correct answer is D) there are four shots on deck. The alternating pattern of four white links and one red link on the anchor chain indicates that there are four shots (approximately 90 feet or 27 meters) of anchor chain on deck. The red link is used to mark the end of each shot, so the presence of four white links between each red link confirms that there are four shots of chain visible. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the information provided by the pattern of links on the anchor chain. Options A and B refer to the number of shots in the chain locker, which cannot be determined from the information given. Option C is incorrect because it states there are eight shots on deck, which is not consistent with the observed pattern of four white links between each red link.
