This question is about the rules and safety measures when riding a Personal Watercraft (PWC). The options provided are statements about the operation of a PWC, and the task is to identify which one is true. <br /><br />1. "You must have your foot on the gas petal for the PWC to go": This statement is false. A PWC can be operated without the operator's foot on the gas petal, as the engine can be started and controlled by other means.<br /><br />2. "If you let off of the throttle, you may lose steering capability": This statement is true. PWCs do not have a steering system like traditional boats. Instead, they rely on the operator's body weight and the throttle to steer. If the throttle is released, the PWC will continue to move in the direction it was going, but the operator will lose control over its direction.<br /><br />3. "The engine cut-off switch can be attached to the operator or the passenger as long as it's attached to someone on the PWC": This statement is false. The engine cut-off switch should be attached to the operator, not the passenger, to ensure that the engine will shut off if the operator falls off the PWC.<br /><br />4. "ALL PWCs have brakes": This statement is false. PWCs do not have brakes in the traditional sense. They rely on the operator's body weight and the throttle to steer and control the speed.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is option B, as it is the only true statement among the provided options.
