70% to pass

The maximum angular tolerance for a bent link of an anchor chain is _______________.

A 1 degree
B 3 degrees
C 5 degrees
D 7 degrees
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 3 degrees. According to the regulations governing the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, the maximum angular tolerance for a bent link of an anchor chain is 3 degrees. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Subchapter I-A, which covers the inspection and certification of vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because 1 degree would be an overly strict tolerance, while 5 and 7 degrees would be excessively lenient and could compromise the structural integrity of the anchor chain.
