Question 66General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passA high reading is indicated at the salinity cells labeled "Y", "Q", and "6" shown in the illustration. This would be the probable result of _______________. Illustration GS-0053
Acarryover from "III"
Bfaulty cells at each location
Ca leak in item "I"
Derosion of item "2"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) carryover from "III". The high readings at the salinity cells labeled "Y", "Q", and "6" are likely due to carryover from the component labeled "III". This could indicate an issue with the sealing or separation between the components, allowing saltwater or other conductive material to flow from "III" to the other salinity cells, causing the high readings. The other options are incorrect because: B) faulty cells at each location would not explain the consistent high readings across multiple cells, C) a leak in item "I" would not necessarily impact the salinity cells in that way, and D) erosion of item "2" is not directly relevant to the salinity cell readings.
