Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. What floating marker anchored in a channel shows boat captains the safe deep-water route through a lagoon or harbour: a navigation buoy (or beacon) or a postbox?
Navigation buoy (or beacon)
Channel buoys and beacons mark reefs, shoals and safe shipping lanes.
2. What tall tower on a coast or reef shines a bright beam of light at night to warn ships away from dangerous rocks and reefs: a lighthouse or a windmill?
Lighthouse
Lighthouses guide mariners and mark coastal hazards and harbour entrances.
3. What safety equipment protects a cyclist’s head when riding a bicycle: a cycle helmet or a sun umbrella?
Cycle helmet
A cycle helmet absorbs impact to protect the head.
4. Why are giant container ships used to transport goods like grain, clothing and electronics across oceans: one ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes, or ships fly over mountains?
One ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes
Maritime container shipping has the lowest energy use per tonne-kilometre for bulk ocean trade.
5. Which emergency road vehicle has flashing lights and a siren to carry paramedics and patients quickly to hospital: an ambulance or a tractor?
Ambulance
Ambulances provide urgent medical transport to hospitals.
6. How does a sailboat move across the water without using a fuel engine: the wind pushes against its sails, or horses pull it?
The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
7. Which underwater vessel can dive beneath the surface of the ocean and travel completely submerged: a submarine or a tram?
Submarine
A submarine adjusts its ballast tanks to dive and travel underwater.
8. Does a passenger ferry travel on land, on water, or in the air?
On water
A ferry is a boat or ship that carries passengers and cargo across water.
9. What safety strap must drivers and passengers fasten across their chest and lap inside a car or bus: a seatbelt or a shoelace?
Seatbelt
Seatbelts keep passengers securely in their seats during sudden stops.
10. At a traffic light, what colour light tells drivers to come to a complete STOP: red or green?
Red
Red means stop; amber means prepare to stop; green means proceed with caution if the way is clear.
11. What safety item should every passenger wear when travelling in a small boat or speedboat: a lifejacket (personal flotation device) or roller skates?
Lifejacket (personal flotation device)
A properly fitted lifejacket keeps a person afloat in the water.
12. Which special aircraft has floats (pontoons) instead of wheels so it can take off from and land on a calm lagoon: a seaplane or a submarine?
Seaplane
Seaplanes connect island communities by landing directly on sheltered water.
