Question 413 Deck Safety
70% to passProvided every effort is used to produce, as well as preserve body moisture content by avoiding perspiration, how long is it normally possible to survive without stored quantities of water?
A
Up to 3 days
B
8 to 14 days
C
15 to 20 days
D
25 to 30 days
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 8 to 14 days. The reasoning behind this is that, under ideal conditions where every effort is made to minimize water loss through perspiration, a person can typically survive without additional water intake for 8 to 14 days. This is based on research and regulations related to survival in extreme environments. The other answer choices are incorrect because 3 days is too short, and 15-20 or 25-30 days would be an overestimation of survival time without access to stored water.
