With the BOSN pipe what two musical scores are the same? (repeat)

• A. No response required
• B. Attention and Standby
• C. Begin and End
• D. Proceed and Stop

Answer: (A)

Musical signaling on the bos’n pipe uses distinct melodies for each command, but some signals are intentionally identical to show repetition. When two scores are the same, it means the instruction should be repeated rather than issuing a new action. That’s why the correct interpretation is “No response required”—the identical scores cue repeating the previous command instead of initiating a new response. The other options would imply a different command or an action from the crew, which isn’t indicated by two identical scores.
