  2. B
    scuttle
  3. C
    flotsam
  4. D
    abandonment

Cevap

jettison
The term 'jettison' is the precise nautical register word for deliberately throwing cargo, equipment, or ballast overboard from a vessel to lighten it during an emergency.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context of casting cargo overboard to lighten a ship in distress.
The target action involves the voluntary emergency disposal of cargo into the sea.
Specialized registers require technical terms matching exact professional actions.
2
Distinguish between specialized maritime terms.
'Jettison' specifically denotes throwing goods overboard to lighten a ship, unlike 'scuttle' (sinking the ship) or 'flotsam' (unintentional floating debris).
Selecting the term with the exact register definition ensures accuracy.
