Question 166 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) SAY-TAY-SEVEN. The pronunciation of numbers on the radiotelephone is standardized by regulations to ensure clear and unambiguous communication. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Regulations, the standard pronunciation for the number "7" is "SAY-TAY-SEVEN." This pronunciation is designed to clearly distinguish the number 7 from other similar-sounding numbers, such as 17 or 70, when transmitted over the radio. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the standardized pronunciation. Option A (NEW-MER-AL-SEVEN) is not the correct pronunciation, and options C (SEE-ETA-SEVEN) and D (NUM-BER-SEVEN) do not match the ITU standard.
