History

Which outcome reduces voyage uncertainty following lunar measurement errors corrected via a Dolland sextant?

A)Increased celestial position accuracy
B)Compensated compass calibration drift
C)Minimized hull hydrostatic drag
D)Improved chronometer timekeeping precision

💡 Explanation

Increased position accuracy results because the sextant corrects errors via geometric triangulation (parallax angle), therefore better latitude estimations are obtained, rather than other navigational device corrections since angles are directly derived.
