If asked to identify the maneuver associated with number 22, which description would you select?

• A. Propeller reverse
• B. Line
• C. Left and right to center
• D. Pairs alternate left and right at the rail

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing a line formation used in shipboard drills. The description “Line” denotes a straight, uniform alignment where everyone stands along the same straight path, keeping step and distance so the group moves as one. When number 22 is labeled with that description, it indicates the crew should form or maintain a straight line along the deck, rather than performing propulsion actions or shifting to alternate positions. The other options describe different kinds of movement: propeller reverse affects how the vessel moves through the water, not how people are arranged; left and right to center implies moving toward or away from the centerline from the sides; and pairs alternating left and right at the rail describes a zigzag or staggered pattern along the rail. So the line description best matches the depicted maneuver for number 22.
