Discussing this exam question.
Joel's right that the statement of the question doesn't mention the distance separating them. You'd have to deduce from the size of the vessel shapes in the diagram that they're relatively close to one another.
This is a bogus question.
No mention of a narrow channel or fairway.
This isnt a meeting or crossing situation.

No need to mention distance since the question states that vessel "A" is overtaking "B" and it wouldn't be an overtaking situation if they were more than 1/2 a mile from each other.
Narrow channel doesn't apply, this is an inland only question.
