💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and decide: is this task mainly about cutting, gripping, tightening, or stripping? • Which task best matches the shape and reach of long, narrow jaws that can get into confined spaces? • For the other answer choices, what specialized tools are normally used for those jobs on a vessel or in a workshop?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the main function of needle‑nosed pliers (what they are designed to do most effectively) • Eliminate options that describe tasks usually done by dedicated cutting or stripping tools • Check which option clearly involves reaching or working in tight or confined spaces
