A design modification of an anchor chain which prevents kinking is the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• anchor chain construction and how links are built • what feature in a link would physically stop the chain from twisting or kinking • differences between special links (used occasionally) and regular links (used throughout the chain)

💭 Think About

• Think about which part of the chain is present in every link versus which parts only appear at joining points between shots or sections. • Ask yourself: which type of link has a built‑in brace or bar across its center that keeps it from deforming and helps prevent kinking? • Eliminate choices that are mainly used for joining different pieces of chain together, rather than changing how each link works under strain.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are primarily joining devices between shots/sections rather than the normal working link of the chain. • Recall that prevention of kinking comes from the internal structure of each link, not from a link that is only used occasionally. • Make sure the term you choose refers to the standard link type used throughout the chain, not just a detachable or connecting feature.
