70% to passIf manual control of the water level in a steaming boiler is required, the proper method of control is with the auxiliary feed _______________.
Astop valve
Bpump pressure control
Cpump speed control
Dstop-check valve
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) stop-check valve. The stop-check valve is the proper method of controlling the water level in a steaming boiler when manual control is required. This is because the stop-check valve allows water to flow into the boiler, but prevents backflow, ensuring the proper water level is maintained. The other options, such as the auxiliary feed pump pressure or speed control, are not the correct methods for manual water level control in a steaming boiler.
