What should a vessel operator do to make sure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency?

  1. Conduct an emergency drill with the passengers

  2. Provide a map of the vessel

  3. Ensure passengers wear life jackets at all times

  4. Only inform adults on board of emergency procedures

The correct answer is: Conduct an emergency drill with the passengers

Conducting an emergency drill with the passengers is the best way for a vessel operator to ensure that everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency. This option is the most comprehensive and practical because it actively involves both the operator and the passengers in practicing emergency procedures. Providing a map of the vessel (option B) may be helpful, but it does not involve actively practicing emergency procedures. Ensuring passengers wear life jackets at all times (option C) is a good safety measure, but it does not necessarily ensure that passengers know what to do in case of an emergency. Only informing adults on board of emergency procedures (option D) may leave out important information and exclude the participation of minor passengers, thus making it less effective than option A.
