🔍 Key Concepts

• Grapnel vs. anchor – how they are shaped and what each is used for • Recovering objects from the seabed such as cables, moorings, or lost gear • Difference between holding a cable in place and dragging the bottom

💭 Think About

• Think about when you would need a small multi‑pronged hook instead of a full‑size anchor on a ship or small boat. • Which option best matches a tool lowered to the seabed and towed or lifted to pick up something already lying on the bottom? • Ask yourself which choices describe gear used with cargo handling, which with anchoring, and which with searching or recovering gear.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option specifically involves finding or recovering something that is already underwater? • Which options are clearly related to cargo operations or securing rigging, and can be eliminated? • Visualize a grapnel as a small, multi‑fluke hook on a line – which job would that shape be best suited for?
