What does 'port' indicate on a boat?

The right side
The front part
The rear part
The left side

The correct answer is: The left side

'Port' on a boat refers to the left side of the vessel when facing towards the front or bow. This term is commonly used in nautical and boating contexts, and is used in place of directional terms like 'left' and 'right'. It is important to note that the term 'port' can also refer to a location where boats dock or load and unload passengers, which is why it is commonly used in this context.'Front' and 'rear' are incorrect because these terms are usually used to describe the front or back of an object, not a specific side. 'Right' is incorrect because 'port' specifically represents the left side of the boat.
