🔍 Key Concepts

• Study the tide prediction tables for both reference stations (Portsmouth, Norfolk Naval Shipyard #8638660 and Money Point #8639348) for 15 October 2023 only. • Identify which of the listed times are the first low water of the day at each station, paying attention to the LST (Local Standard Time) column. • Because the berth lies between the two stations, think about whether the time of low water will be closer to one station or essentially the same as both.

💭 Think About

• Look at 15 October on each table: which times correspond to low tide, and which to high tide? Eliminate any answer choices that clearly match a high tide time. • Compare the first low-water times at the two stations. Are they significantly different, or nearly the same? How does that affect which multiple‑choice time is most reasonable for a berth between them? • Check whether there is more than one low tide on that date. Make sure the option you keep corresponds to the first low tide, not the second.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the time you choose matches a low tide (L) entry, not a high tide (H). • Confirm that the time you pick occurs on 15 October 2023 and is the earliest low tide shown for that date on the relevant tables. • Double‑check that the time is expressed in LST, as indicated on the tide prediction graphic, and that it matches one of the printed low‑water times from the stations.
