Q

Nylon line can be dangerous because it __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• nylon line characteristics under load • how elasticity and stretch affect stored energy in a line • common snap‑back hazards on deck

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a line when it is heavily loaded and then suddenly parts—what property of the material makes that especially dangerous? • Which option describes something about nylon that could cause injury to crew on deck, rather than just being an inconvenience? • Consider which choices are actually true physical properties of nylon and which are clearly incorrect or exaggerated.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option refers to stored energy from stretching and potential snap‑back • Eliminate any choice that contradicts the basic fact that nylon is highly elastic • Focus on the option that is both a real property of nylon and a clear safety hazard on deck
