If passengers attempt to form a line in the clear zone while waiting for the lavatory, flight attendants will ______ them to ______ and wait for lavatory to become unoccupied.

• A. Ignore them
• B. Instruct them to wait outside the clear zone or return to their seats
• C. Move them to the galley
• D. Allow them to queue in the aisle

Answer: (B)

The key idea is keeping the area around the lavatories safe and unobstructed. The clear zone is a space that must remain free so crew can access the lavatories, monitor occupancy, and move about the cabin without hindrance. When passengers try to form a line in that area, flight attendants should have them wait outside the clear zone or return to their seats until the lavatory becomes unoccupied. This avoids blocking the aisle or interfering with crew duties and allows an orderly, safe process for using the lavatory once it’s free. Allowing queues in the aisle or directing people elsewhere would create hazards and disrupt cabin flow.
