Betty is a professional high diver and takes a vacation to a beach she has not visited before. While there, she notices a tall cliff, which she thinks would make an excellent place to practice her diving. Which of the following statements about this situation is FALSE?
Answer
A
It would be safer for Betty to practice at home since she is unfamiliar with the area.
B
It would be perfectly safe for Betty to swim around and make sure the water is deep enough. If she finds that it is, the cliff could be a good place to practice.
C
Betty could check in town to see if there are any group tours that include supervised cliff diving, instead of diving alone.
D
Betty could do some research about the area and see if it is a common cliff for diving. If she finds that it is safe, she could then plan another trip with a group of fellow divers to practice at the cliff.
Explanation
B is false because swimming around to check the depth does not make an unfamiliar cliff safe. The water may contain hidden rocks, strong currents, or other hazards, and entering the water can itself be dangerous. A supervised group activity or careful research before a later group visit is safer than diving alone.
