70% to pass

The chemicals in sacks aboard MODU's are palletized to reduce _______________.

A pilferage
B labor in loading and handling
C marking and labeling
D contamination
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) labor in loading and handling. Palletizing the chemicals in sacks aboard Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) helps reduce the labor required for loading and handling these materials. Pallets allow the sacks to be moved together as a single unit, rather than individually, which streamlines the loading and unloading process and minimizes the manual effort required. The other answer choices are not the primary reasons for palletizing the chemical sacks. While palletizing may incidentally reduce pilferage (A) and contamination (D), these are not the main purposes. Palletizing does not directly impact the marking and labeling (C) of the chemical sacks.
