You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The top 2 inches of number "9" are visible above the waterline. What is the draft?

Correct Answer: Option C — 9'-04"

Each draft mark numeral is 6 inches high. When the top 2 inches of the number 9 remain visible above the waterline, the water level is positioned 4 inches above the bottom of the 9, yielding a correct draft of 9 feet 4 inches.
