• Ask yourself: Which choice clearly involves an action by a sovereign authority or government power restricting the vessel or cargo? • Which options are mainly about crowd behavior, accidents, or legal consequences, rather than a deliberate order that stops trade or movement? • Consider which option best reflects an official restraint on the voyage or loading/unloading, rather than damage or loss that happens after operations begin.
