Question

The museum has an interesting collection of nautical items, including ocean maps, sails, and anchors.

Read the sentence.

The example context clues show that the word nautical means

“growing or living near a boat.”
“of or associated with salt water.”
“having an interest in the ocean.”
“of or relating to ships or sailing.”

Answer 1

“Of or relating to ships or sailing.”

The clues — ocean maps, sails, and anchors — are items used in navigation and on ships, so nautical refers to ships/sailing.
