In illustration D038DG below, what part of the anchor is indicated by the letter "J"?
• Review the basic parts of a standard stockless anchor: shank, crown, flukes, and bill/tip • Notice where letter F is pointing versus where J is pointing on the illustration • Remember that the crown is the lower center part where the shank joins the arms, not the outer edges of the flukes
• Look closely at the shape that letter J points to: is it along the main vertical bar, at the very end of a fluke, or on the curved surface of the fluke itself? • Compare which choice best matches a small local feature versus an entire major component of the anchor • Ask yourself: which option names the long center piece, and which option names the bottom connection between that piece and the flukes?
• Confirm that shank refers to the long, straight, central bar of the anchor • Confirm that crown is at the bottom center where the shank meets the arms, not on the pointed end • Check whether tip/bill would be located at the extreme outer end of the fluke rather than on the vertical centerline
