70% to pass

While reading the muster list you see that "3 short blasts on the whistle and three short rings on the general alarm" is the signal for _______________.

A fire and emergency
B man overboard
C dismissal from fire and emergency stations
D abandon ship
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) dismissal from fire and emergency stations. The "3 short blasts on the whistle and three short rings on the general alarm" is the standard signal to indicate that the emergency situation has been resolved and personnel can return to their normal duties. This is the signal to dismiss from fire and emergency stations, indicating that the crisis has been addressed and it is safe for the crew to return to their regular stations. The other options are incorrect because: A) "fire and emergency" is not the correct signal for this situation, B) "man overboard" would have a different set of signals, and D) "abandon ship" would require a different and more urgent set of alarms.
