AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 9'-06". To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the mean draft based on the information provided: - The top 2 inches of the 9 forward is visible above the water level - The water level is 4 inches below the 10 aft This means the draft at the forward is 9 feet minus 2 inches, which is 8'-10". The draft at the aft is 10 feet minus 4 inches, which is 9'-08". The mean draft is the average of these two measurements, which is 9'-06". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the mean draft based on the given information.
