🔍 Key Concepts

• These are standard naval architecture/stability plan symbols used on ship diagrams • Symbol 2 looks like two letters combined into a single mark • Think about what the letters B and L might abbreviate among the answer choices

💭 Think About

• If the symbol is made from letters, which option best fits those letters as an abbreviation? • Among beam limit, baseline, bilge level, and displacement, which one is commonly shortened using the letters you see in symbol 2? • Look at the way the vertical and horizontal strokes are arranged—does it suggest a line used as a reference on a drawing, or something else?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which letters you can see in symbol 2 and how they overlap • Match those letters to the most likely abbreviation in the options • Ask yourself which of these terms is used as a fixed reference line on ship plans and hydrostatic curves
