This is CORRECT! one of the signals in rule 37 is a SQUARE FLAG AND BALL ... Since it does not specify which flag or colors, when in distress in the absence of a better signal, and flag above any color ball will do.
This is not shown as an alternative option in the navigation rules and regulations handbook. Balloney question.
This is a poor question. In the Nav Rules and Regulations Handbook, in the distress signals chart - it only shows a black flag with a ball underneath. It doesn't say anything about "LIMA". This is simply a question to memorize.
This is CORRECT! in Annex IV 1.(g) it states a "Square Flag above or Below a Ball" or anything resembling a ball. Since it does not specify which flag or ball color, when in distress, go with what you have.
