🔍 Key Concepts

• Chart symbology in slanted (italic) text on U.S. nautical charts • Difference between fixed objects and features whose position or existence is uncertain • How hydrographic offices show doubtful or approximate positions on charts

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when a cartographer is not completely sure of an object’s exact position, how might they show that uncertainty on the chart? • Which choice describes something about how sure we are about where or what the object is, rather than what the object physically is? • Look at the answer options: which one deals with charting accuracy instead of depth, visibility, or whether the object is underwater?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice refers to uncertainty of position or existence, not to physical characteristics like draft, visibility, or being underwater • Eliminate any options that describe how deep or visible the object is – slanted letters do NOT directly tell you that • Focus on which option best matches the idea of an object with a less reliably known location on the chart
