A shore is a piece of securing dunnage that __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• dunnage as material used to protect and support cargo • the difference between shoring and blocking/bracing • the direction in which a shore is normally placed to resist movement or weight

💭 Think About

• Think about how you would support a heavy object that might shift: would a shore usually act vertically, horizontally, or at an angle? • Which option best describes a member that carries weight from the cargo down to a solid foundation or deck? • Look at the words "distance piece" and "run horizontally" – do these sound more like spacing/bracing, or like a structural support that props something up?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which description actually transfers weight from cargo to structure (deck, bulkhead, etc.). • Check which option matches the usual image of shoring: pieces that prop up something that might fall or shift. • Eliminate any choice that sounds more like padding or spacing (pure dunnage) rather than a strong, load‑bearing support.
