🔍 Key Concepts

• Bowline is a specific type of knot • Typical uses of common knots: eye/loop knots, joining knots, stopper knots, and whipping • Difference between a temporary eye and permanently splicing an eye in a line

💭 Think About

• Think about what shape a bowline makes in the line once it is tied • Consider which other knots you know that are specifically used to join two lines together or to act as a stopper • Ask yourself: when would a mariner want to form an eye quickly that can also be untied easily after it has been loaded?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that a bowline is famous for being easy to untie after loading • Match each choice with the general knot category: eye knot, bending knot (joining), stopper knot, or whipping (preventing fray) • Eliminate any choice that describes a function usually done by whipping, a bend, or a stopper knot rather than an eye knot
