🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of a standard anchor (shank, crown, arms, flukes, stock) • Which part actually digs into and grips the seabed • Difference between supporting structure vs. holding surface

💭 Think About

• Picture an anchor set on the bottom: which part actually bites into sand or mud? • Which of these terms refers to a relatively flat, broad surface instead of a rod‑like or bar‑like piece? • If you were to drag the anchor along the bottom, which named part would be doing the gripping work?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know the basic diagram of an anchor and can label the shank, arms, flukes, and stock • Eliminate any terms that sound like they describe the main shaft or a crossbar, not the digging surface • Focus on the part whose purpose is specifically to penetrate and hold in the bottom, not just connect or brace other parts
