70% to pass

Number 3 lifeboat would be _______________.

A behind boat number 1 on the starboard side
B behind boat number 2 on the port side
C behind boat number 1 on the port side
D the forward boat on the starboard side
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) behind boat number 1 on the starboard side. The reason this is the correct answer is that on a standard ship layout, the lifeboats are typically arranged with boat number 1 on the starboard side, followed by boat number 3 behind it, also on the starboard side. This arrangement ensures the lifeboats are easily accessible and evenly distributed around the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because boat number 2 would be on the port side, not behind boat number 1, and the forward boat on the starboard side would be boat number 1, not number 3.
