Some dangerous goods can be shipped in _________ _________ as cargo only.

• A. large quantities
• B. small quantities
• C. unregulated items
• D. permitted shipments

Answer: (B)

Shipping dangerous goods in small quantities is an established allowance under the air transport rules, known as the Limited Quantity arrangement. By limiting how much can be in each package, the overall hazard is reduced and handling can be simpler, which is why the statement uses the idea of small quantities. This reflects how some dangerous goods are permitted to be shipped under these reduced-quantity provisions as cargo, rather than under the full set of DG requirements for larger shipments.

Large quantities would not qualify for the limited-quantity approach and require full, stricter handling and packaging. Unregulated items aren’t dangerous goods, so they wouldn’t be described this way. The phrase “permitted shipments” is too vague to capture the specific limited-quantity concept.
