🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic parts of a block and tackle and how lines are reeved (run) through them • What makes a snatch block different from a regular block when adding it to a rig that's already set up • How you would quickly redirect a line under load without having to unreeve (unthread) it completely

💭 Think About

• Think about which option describes a feature that lets you open the block and place a line in it without feeding the end of the line through • Ask yourself: which choice describes a construction feature of the block, and which describe how or when it’s used? The question is asking what it is, not how you use it • Eliminate any answers that limit the block to a specific type of line or a very specific kind of pull, and focus on what makes this kind of block mechanically unique

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option refers to a block that can be opened from the side to let a bight of line be placed in it • Check that the definition does not restrict the block to only one type of rope material • Confirm that the best answer describes the physical design of the block rather than a particular job or use case
