Final answer:

The correct meanings of the light signals in the air are: Steady Green for right of way, Flashing Red for return for landing, Steady Red for give way, and Flashing Green also for return for landing.

Therefore, the correct answer is: option a) 1-Right of way, 2-Return for landing, 3-Give way, 4-Return for landing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The light signals in the air are a set of visual signaling codes used by aircraft and control towers. If we examine each light and its corresponding meaning, we find that:

  1. Steady Green typically indicates that the aircraft has clearance for takeoff or landing, implying it has the right of way.
  2. Flashing Red warns the aircraft to exercise caution and can often mean that the airport is unsafe for landing, requiring the plane to circle or return for landing later.
  3. Steady Red suggests that the aircraft must give way to other aircraft and that it is not safe to land or takeoff.
  4. Flashing Green indicates that the aircraft is cleared to return to the runway, which could mean a return for landing.

Using this information, the correct pairing is:

  1. Steady Green - Right of way
  2. Flashing Red - Return for landing
  3. Steady Red - Give way
  4. Flashing Green - Return for landing

Hence, the correct option in this case would be: a) 1-Right of way, 2-Return for landing, 3-Give way, 4-Return for landing.
