What is cover?

• A. Something that stops bullets such as concrete wall, engine block, and brick wall.
• B. Something that hides you from view such as bushes or windows.
• C. A type of defensive stance.
• D. A warning signal.

Answer: (A)

Cover means a physical barrier that can stop bullets, giving you actual ballistic protection. The examples listed—concrete wall, engine block, brick wall—illustrate solid barriers that can halt or substantially slow rounds, which is what cover provides. Concealment, on the other hand, only hides you from view (like bushes or windows) and does not stop bullets. The other options describe a defensive stance or a warning signal, neither of which offer protection. So the best answer is the barrier that can stop bullets.
