🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of a lifeboat and where different fittings are located • Meaning of the word stern on a small boat • Common use of the word sheets in boating and whether it fits this context

💭 Think About

• First, picture a traditional open lifeboat: bow at the front, stern at the back. Where would passengers typically sit in relation to the stern? • Think about what sheets usually refer to in sailing (lines/ropes controlling sails). Does that meaning make sense if someone is "referring to the stern sheets"? • Which option describes something that is clearly located toward the stern and could reasonably be plural "sheets" related to where people are?"

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that stern means the aft (rear) end of the boat • Decide whether sheets here is more likely to mean ropes for sails or something flat for people to sit on • Eliminate any options that are not clearly connected with the stern area of a lifeboat
