70% to pass

A long ton is _______________.

A 1,000 pounds
B 2,000 pounds
C 2,240 pounds
D 2,400 pounds
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2,240 pounds. A long ton, also known as a "metric ton" or "imperial ton," is a unit of mass equal to 2,240 pounds. This is the standard unit of measurement used in the United States Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other options are incorrect because a short ton is 2,000 pounds (B), and a metric ton is 2,400 pounds (D), which are different units of measurement.
