🔍 Key Concepts

• Trim vs. list – fore-and-aft vs. side-to-side inclination • How a vessel sits in the water when the stern is deeper than the bow • Difference between sheer, set, trim, and list as stability/handling terms

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when the stern is lower than the bow, is that a fore‑and‑aft condition or a side‑to‑side condition? • Which choice is the standard naval architecture term for the angle of the ship’s keel line relative to the waterline, forward to aft? • Which terms in the options are actually used for lateral drift or deck curvature, not for how deep the stern sits?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can define trim, list, sheer, and set in one short phrase each. • Confirm which option describes a fore-and-aft inclination with the stern lower than the bow. • Eliminate any answer choices that refer to sideways leaning, current effect on track, or deck curvature rather than how the ship’s ends sit in the water.
