Question 413 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Provided 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.
