Question 40Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passBy definition, an example of a flammable liquid is _______________.
Aanimal and vegetable oils
Bcaustic potash
Ckerosene
Dgasoline
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) gasoline. Gasoline is a flammable liquid that ignites easily and burns rapidly. It is a common example of a flammable liquid that is widely used as a fuel for vehicles and other machinery. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) regulations define flammable liquids as those having a flashpoint of less than 140°F (60°C), and gasoline clearly falls within this category. The other options are not considered flammable liquids. Animal and vegetable oils (A) are generally not as flammable as gasoline, while caustic potash (B) is a corrosive chemical, not a flammable liquid. Kerosene (C) is also a flammable liquid, but it is less volatile and has a higher flashpoint compared to gasoline.
