Zorluk: OrtaOccupational and Specialized Registers

During a violent storm, the captain ordered the crew to cast part of the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten the vessel and prevent it from capsizing. Which specialized nautical register term correctly identifies goods deliberately thrown overboard in an emergency?

  1. jetsamCevap
  2. B
    flotsam
  3. C
    derelict
  4. D
    freight

Cevap

The correct term is 'jetsam'.
In maritime law and nautical register, 'jetsam' refers specifically to goods that are voluntarily thrown overboard (jettisoned) by the crew to lighten a ship facing emergency distress. Therefore, it precisely fits the scenario described.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of the sentence.
The sentence describes cargo intentionally thrown into the sea during an emergency to lighten a ship.
Specialized occupational registers require selecting words that carry precise technical definitions based on situational context.
2
Evaluate the maritime register options.
'Jetsam' denotes goods deliberately cast overboard in emergency conditions. 'Flotsam' refers to floating wreckage after a crash or sinking. 'Derelict' means abandoned property. 'Freight' is general cargo.
Only 'jetsam' fits the specific condition of deliberate jettisoning during distress.
