Each MK-79 signal kit contains _________ cartridge type aerial flares and _________ pencil type projector.

• A. 5 and 2
• B. 7 and 1
• C. 6 and 1
• D. 8 and 0

Answer: (B)

The kit is designed so you have a single launching device and a sufficient number of signals to use. The pencil-type projector is the one tool you need to launch the flares, and seven cartridge-type aerial flares provide multiple signaling chances. This combination—seven flares with one projector—is the standard load, giving enough signals while keeping the kit compact. The other options would either depart from having a launcher or would change the number of flares in a way that isn’t consistent with the kit’s typical contents.
