Answer 1

B,B,B,D ( in the case of a run a bout and a large vessel) B ( in the case of 2 vessels relatively close in size), C.

All the answers are in the book and I would prefer you look them up, rather than to use answers someone gave you, that may or may not be correct.

Answer 2

This looks like a Boater's Safety Test a took a while ago? What are you doing???

Answer 3

I got an innovative thought, how about you go and do yourself a favor and STUDY this boater safety education material yourself, instead of asking others for the answers.  You will be doing a favor for you, anyone who rides with you on the vessel, and other people using the lake as well.

Asking for people to dispense answers will not help you if you have a close encounter with another boat, violate other boating laws, or get someone killed due to negligence.

I urge other people reading this question to encourage boater safety education, and not give information handouts or shortcuts.
