🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of whipping: What are you trying to accomplish at the end of a line? • Different knots and what they are normally used for (joining two lines, temporary hitches, stopping a line from running out). • Which knots create a bulky stopper vs. a secure joining or hitch.

💭 Think About

• First, think about which of these knots is normally used at the very end of a single line rather than between two lines or around an object. • Ask yourself: which option would create a small, neat stopper that keeps the strands from opening up, even if only temporarily? • Eliminate any knots that are primarily for attaching a line to an object or for tying two lines together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which knot is mainly used as a hitch to an object – that one is not right here. • Identify which knot is mainly used to join two lines, especially of different sizes – that is not the purpose here. • Focus on the knot that is commonly used as a stopper in the end of a line to prevent it from running through or unraveling.
