Correct Answer:
C) Once a week

Explanation:
For passenger ships, SOLAS mandates that emergency drills, including lifeboat drills, be conducted once a week. This ensures that all crew members are familiar with the emergency procedures and that equipment is maintained.

Correct Answer:
C) Seven or more short blasts followed by one long blast on the ship's whistle and general alarm

Explanation:
The standard emergency signal to call crew and passengers to lifeboat muster stations is seven or more short blasts followed by one long blast. This signal ensures that everyone onboard is aware of an emergency and directs them to the muster stations.

Correct Answer:
C) Within 24 hours of a ship departing port and regularly thereafter

Explanation:
SOLAS requires that emergency drills, including lifeboat drills, be conducted within 24 hours of a ship's departure from port unless a similar drill was conducted within the previous week. Regular drills must also be carried out during the voyage.
