🔍 Key Concepts

• Watertight integrity and controlling flooding • Difference between ideal vs practical goal in damage control • Priority of slowing flooding vs completely stopping it

💭 Think About

• In a real flooding situation, can you always completely stop water coming in, especially with irregular or large holes? • What is more important in the first minutes: perfection, or quickly improving the situation as much as possible? • Which option reflects a realistic damage-control objective that can be achieved fast under stress?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider which choice is practically achievable with shoring, plugs, mattresses, etc. • Think about the primary goal: to buy time for pumps and other damage control measures. • Eliminate any option that assumes a level of control over flooding that is not realistic in most emergencies.
