On 7 March at 1838 ZT, in DR position LAT 34°26.9' N, LONG 58°16.2' W, you observe Polaris for latitude. The sextant altitude (hs) is 35°08.4'. The index error is 2.5' off the arc. The height of eye is 54 feet. What is the latitude at the time of the sight?

Correct Answer: Option D — 34°33.4'N

Apply index error (off the arc added) and height of eye correction to sextant altitude. Add tabular corrections a0, a1, and a2 from the Polaris sight reduction table in the Nautical Almanac to the corrected altitude to determine latitude.
