Question 283 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) G4214. The flag hoist G, 4, 2, 1, first substitute represents the International Code of Signals, which is a standardized system of communication used by ships at sea. The sequence "G, 4, 2, 1, first substitute" indicates the flag signals that should be hoisted to convey a specific message. In this case, the "G" flag represents the letter "G," the "4" flag represents the numeral "4," the "2" flag represents the numeral "2," the "1" flag represents the numeral "1," and the "first substitute" flag is used to indicate that the sequence is repeated. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the flag hoist is G4214, which corresponds to the answer choice B.
