🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat rowing commands and what each one controls (stopping, backing, turning) • How an oar works as a brake vs as a propeller • Relative position of the oar blade to the keel line when you want to stop the boat quickly

💭 Think About

• When a coxswain wants the boat to stop moving ahead, what should the oar do to create maximum drag in the water? • Which option keeps the blade in the water in a way that resists forward motion instead of continuing to drive the boat? • Look at each choice and ask: does this help stop the boat, or does it remove the oar’s braking effect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options keep the blade in the water vs remove it from the water • Check which description makes the blade act like a flat plate against the water, not slicing through it • Confirm which option clearly references the oar’s position relative to the boat’s keel line (centerline)
