🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of the Light List or charted light descriptions to identify aids to navigation • How lights are described: color, shape, markings, and structure • Matching the exact wording of a chart/light description with the answer choices

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: How would Stratford Point Light be listed in the Light List or on a NOAA chart—what key descriptive words would appear? • Compare each choice’s description carefully. Which one sounds like a very specific, formal structure description rather than something more generic? • Think about common U.S. lighthouse designs in this region: which of these options best fits the typical New England-style light structure wording?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact shape term (conical, octagonal, cylindrical, skeleton) that’s associated with Stratford Point Light in official references. • Check whether the description includes color pattern details (bands, upper/lower colors) that match how lighthouses are normally distinguished from nearby lights. • Confirm that the option you pick reads like a precise Light List entry, not just a casual description.
