70% to pass

In each inflatable rescue boat, what piece of equipment is provided to make quick, emergency, temporary repairs to a large hole in a raft?

A Self-adhesive rubberized canvas patches
B Several various-sized sealing clamps
C Glue and rubber patches
D No equipment is provided.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Several various-sized sealing clamps. Inflatable rescue boats are required to carry a set of sealing clamps that can be quickly and easily deployed to temporarily seal large holes in the raft. These clamps are designed to provide an emergency fix, allowing the raft to maintain buoyancy and provide a safe platform until more permanent repairs can be made. The other options are incorrect - self-adhesive patches (A) may not adhere properly in an emergency, glue and rubber patches (C) take more time to apply, and no equipment (D) would leave the raft vulnerable in the event of a puncture. The sealing clamps are the appropriate equipment specified for this purpose on inflatable rescue boats.
