Show the answer
Correct answer: a) Jump in and do not try to swim. If you must, do so on your back. Take the EPIRB with you. Keep the whole crew together. Climb on any floating object to reduce hypothermia
Why it is correct
The correct option is the most complete: do not swim, take the EPIRB, stay together and get out of the water if you can.
Why the others are not
- b) It leaves out climbing onto a floating object.
- c) The risk is hypothermia, not hyperthermia.
- d) Stay together rather than swimming away.
How to work it out in the exam
- Look for small errors: hypo or hyper.
