Q

To facilitate passing the end of a large rope through a block, you could use which line?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of reeving when working with blocks and tackle • Purpose of a gantline on a ship • How small lines are used to handle or control larger, heavier lines

💭 Think About

• Which term describes a small line specifically used to pull or lead another, larger line through a tight space like a sheave or block? • Which of these lines is more associated with hoisting or raising objects rather than just pulling a line through? • Think about the root word in each option (for example, what does 'reeve' mean in seamanship?)

✅ Before You Answer

• Know the definition of reeve/reeving in seamanship (to pass a rope through a block or fairlead) • Be clear on what a gantline is typically used for (e.g., hoisting bosun’s chair, tools, or gear aloft) • Eliminate any line types that are mainly about mooring or positioning a vessel rather than working with blocks
