Before departing on a boat, what should everyone on board be aware of?

  1. The nearest land mark

  2. Locations of emergency equipment

  3. The name of the boat

  4. The depth of the water

The correct answer is: Locations of emergency equipment

Everyone on board should be aware of the locations of emergency equipment before departing on a boat. This is important for safety reasons as it ensures that everyone knows where to go in case of an emergency. Option A is incorrect because although knowing the nearest landmark could be helpful in certain situations, it is not as important as knowing the locations of emergency equipment. Option C is also incorrect because knowing the name of the boat does not serve any practical purpose in terms of safety. Finally, option D is incorrect because the depth of the water may vary and is not as crucial as knowing where the emergency equipment is located.
