Question 379 Deck Safety
70% to passBy day, what does the horizontal motion of a white flag, or arms extended horizontally, by a person on the beach indicate?
A
"Tail block is made fast"
B
"Haul away"
C
"Negative"
D
"Affirmative"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) "Negative". According to the US Coast Guard's Standard Signals and Symbols, a horizontal motion of a white flag or arms extended horizontally by a person on the beach indicates a "Negative" signal. This signal is used to communicate that the request or instruction being signaled is not agreed to or cannot be carried out. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the horizontal flag or arm motion signal. "Tail block is made fast", "Haul away", and "Affirmative" are not the correct interpretations of this particular visual signal.
