You are wearing a breathing apparatus inside a tank. How many tugs on the lifeline indicate that you are all right?

A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1 tug on the lifeline indicates that the person wearing the breathing apparatus is all right. This is the standard signal used in the U.S. Coast Guard when a person is wearing a breathing apparatus and is attached to a lifeline. One tug on the lifeline communicates to the surface that the diver or worker is safe and unharmed. The other answer choices (2, 3, or 4 tugs) do not align with the established protocol for this type of safety communication.
