🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of the U.S. Coast Pilot and Light List to identify aids to navigation • Characteristics that describe a lighthouse: color, shape, height, and light phase/character • Difference between light color/character vs. structure description

💭 Think About

• Which choice is describing the LIGHT itself, and which are describing the STRUCTURE it is mounted on? • If you looked up Horton Point Light in the Light List, what specific identifying details would be given, and how many of these options could be verified there? • Are any of the options obviously unlikely for a well‑known Long Island Sound lighthouse (for example, an unusually low height or special synchronization)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in your mind whether Horton Point Light is known primarily by the COLOR or the STRUCTURE description • Mentally eliminate any option that sounds like special electronic equipment (radio synchronization) unless you clearly recall that from publications • Think about typical lighthouse heights; 14 feet above sea level is very low for a seacoast light—verify whether that seems realistic before choosing it
